Is there a means to take a fixed length ascii file and build a sqlloader control file that could then in turn be used to build the Oracle target table?

The sqlloader utility allows me to view the text file and mark the fixed length fields, however I need to have a target table already created to go any further.&nbsp; I thought in the past I could choose to just create a control file...&nbsp; 

Essentially looking for fastest way to get from file to table.

Any help greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Dan
