Hey

Mine is a csv file . this is what i have written, the problem is that spaces gets overlooked 

sub column_segregation{ 
$column_number=$_[0];    
    my $size;
    my @array_A1=();
    my @array_A2=();
    my $column_separator = ",";        
        $column_number--;                 
    my $file="Working_On.csv";      
    open(FILE,"<","$file");           
    my @lines=<FILE>;                 
    close FILE;

    foreach my $line (@lines)
   {
    my @columns = split(/$column_separator/,"$line");      
    @array_A1= split (/$column_separator/,"$columns[$column_number]");
+   
    @array_A2=(@array_A2,@array_A1);                                  
+   
    exit}
   return (@array_A2);                                    
}

so if you can point out why the spaces are being overlooked , the above functions separates out the column number from csv file into array
