Sql loader how import a file with save the actual row number in a db field

Question

Hey,
how can i save the row number for each row in a file into a database field i the same table with the sql loader (sqlldr)?
test data:
john doe
joe meier
table:
name surname line_number_in_file
john doe 1
joe meier 2
and so on ... an if an line is discarded because it is empty for example it should be as this:
test data:

joe meier
table:
name surname line_number_in_file
john doe 1
joe meier 3

Answer 1

but if one of the when clause faild or some rows are
rejectet the sequence is not right.Did you read the link?
"If a record is rejected (that is, it has a format error or causes an Oracle error), the generated sequence numbers are not reshuffled to mask this. If four rows are assigned sequence numbers 10, 12, 14, and 16 in a particular column, and the row with 12 is rejected, the three rows inserted are numbered 10, 14, and 16, not 10, 12, and 14. This allows the sequence of inserts to be preserved despite data errors. When you correct the rejected data and reinsert it, you can manually set the columns to agree with the sequence."
also if you read multiple lines and they inserted in
the wrong order the number from the sequence is not
the line number...what do you mean with "reading multiple lines and wrong order?"
