Hi Tux,thanks so much for your help, much appreciated. The data is separated by comma, the data is extracted after it goes through the while loop so am getting each column and row etc... The file is parsed so am getting a txt file in the mimex directory, obviously I cant refer to the file directly cause everytime i am running the code a different file is generated... how am gonna get the tx file..(which is text/plain format/csv..

open my $fh, "<", $csv_filename;
is the $csv_filename; will open that txt file stored in mimex directory? How can i open that txt file with all of my data so it gets through the while loop? Thanks a lot for your help.
