It's pretty easy, I think, and even documented.

You can do at the top of your checkout:

    [if session source]
	[if type=file term="affiliate_shipping/[data session source].asc"]
	<--
	    Reading shipping from affiliate_shipping/[data session source].asc:
	    [shipping file="affiliate_shipping/[data session source].asc"]
	-->
	[/if]
    [/if]
