You can use a when clause:
when rec_type = '05'
to tell it which ones to load.
The rest depends on your data and what you want loaded. I would need to see some more data, some info about the data such as whether the number of lines for each section is the same, and the structure of the target table and a sample of what results you want to see in the target table, based on the sample data. If the number of rows are consistent, then you can use that. If not, then you can separate the records by a delimiter such as the word "header" if it is actually there in the data and treat the detail rows as arrays if they need to be loaded. These are just a few ideas. There are always multiple ways to do things.
