Hi CountZero,

Thanks for your suggestion on this but I have checked that @field=split(/\s+/,$line); is working fine and returning the result as needed.

Also,there is nothing worng in the for loop. mistakenly I typed 24 while posting it. actually it's 3 (as mentioned that there is 3 cols).

I have also tried the same loop part in a script and it returns the data for every cell/field. Then I don't understand why I am not getting the smae in table here

I haven't tried the addrow() function. Let me try that now.

Thanks again. sir_com
