Use the SQLLOADER.(In control file specify the format).
Hope this helps

Dear,
You can try SQLLOADER , even UTL_FILE package should work and easier then LOADER , what error you'r getting ?
sample code :
-------------
Declare
v_file UTL_FILE.File_Type;
mline varchar2(100);
mver varchar2(50);
mstp number := 0;
mcnt number := 0;
fld1 varchar2(15);
fld2 varchar2(15);
fld3 varchar2(15);
fld4 varchar2(15);
fld5 varchar2(15);
Begin
v_file := utl_file.fopen('c:\DATA\','xyz.txt','r');
Loop
Begin
utl_file.get_line(v_file, mLine);
mcnt := 1;
mstp := 1;
Loop
exit when mcnt > 5;
select substr(mline,mstp,instr(mline,'|',mstp,1)-mstp) into mver from dual;
mstp := instr(mline,'|',1,mcnt)+1;
case mcnt
when 1 then
fld1 := mver;
when 2 then
fld2 := mver;
when 3 then
fld3 := mver;
when 4 then
fld4 := mver;
when 5 then
fld5 := mver;
End Case;
mcnt := mcnt + 1;
End Loop;
Insert into ABC values (fld1,fld2,fld3,fld4,fld5);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
EXIT;
End;
End Loop;
utl_file.fclose(v_file);
commit;
End;
Best OF Luck
