Creating CSV Files

dr46014 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-21-2008

I have a requiremnt to create one CSV file with initial 5 lines as blank rows.
From 5th row onwards the file is to be created from a list of varibales which gets evaluated.
Say A,B,C,D,E are 5 varibales with some value associated with each of them and data type is string.
So the 6th row should contain A,B,C,D,E
Again after 6th row the same set of varibales are evaluated again and the next to is appended to the file with similar structure and so on.

The file looks like

line1 :
line2 :
line3 :
line4 :
line5 :
line6 :10,XYZ,HTHK,7485566,BGYHUJJJ
line7 :20,hggo,gfgfr,grgregre,599999

the line x : should not be present.its there for understanding purpose.
Each row is based on some functional area and the values of varibales are assigned and then row is created.Then again another set of values are assigned.

Do you read the variables from a file?
