Is there a way using strickly Oracle products & tools for a PL/SQL procedure to read external files when we don’t know the file name, but do know the file location and that only files needed for this procedure are located in that location? After reading the file, I need to move the file to a different directory. I know it can be done using C or Java, but we want to keep the application strickly Oracle. I have tried UTL_FILE but it doesn’t work with wildcard file names and in 8.1.7, does not have a move/remove option.
