I am trying to use external tables, but can't seem to find one thing that I'd like (I have already RTFM'd but may have missed some part).

Is there a way I could load the line number of the text file as a column in the table? line number isn't hard coded but can record number be used
(somehow)?

Any ideas? TIA
Raj
