As far as I can see, the script is intended to analyse the names of files found in a directory and produce a list of those files (prefixed by two comma-separated fields derived from the filename) in a file called temp.CSV in the same directory. This however does not tie up with the description in your previous post which implies some data edit.
Before you end up trashing every file in your directory with "trial-and-error" scripting, please post sample filenames and a full description of the process complete with matching sample output.
Also, please use code tags for code and data samples.
It is never necessary or desirable to end a line of a Bourne Shell script with a semi-colon (except for the one exception of certain syntax of the "find" command). This is unix script language not Oracle or Perl.

TRIAL(1) TRIAL(1)
NAME
trial - run unit tests
SYNOPSIS
trial [options] [[file|package|module|TestCase|testmethod]...]
trial --help
DESCRIPTION
trial loads and executes a suite of unit tests, obtained from modules, packages and files listed on the command line.
trial will take either filenames or fully qualified Python names as arguments. Thus 'trial myproject/foo.py', 'trial myproject.foo' and
'trial myproject.foo.SomeTestCase.test_method' are all valid ways to invoke trial.
-b, --debug
Run the tests in the Python debugger. Also does post-mortem debugging on exceptions. Will load '.pdbrc' from current directory if it
exists.
-B, --debug-stacktraces
Report Deferred creation and callback stack traces
--coverage
Generate coverage information in _trial_temp/coverage/. Requires Python 2.3 or higher.
--disablegc
Disable the garbage collector. I don't know why this is in trial.
-x, --extra
Add an extra argument. (This is a hack necessary for interfacing with emacs's `gud'.)
-e, --rterrors
Print tracebacks to standard output as soon as they occur
--force-gc
Run gc.collect() before and after each test case. This can be used to isolate errors that occur when objects get collected. This
option would be the default, except it makes tests run about ten times slower.
-h, --help
Print a usage message to standard output, then exit.
--help-reporters
Print a list of valid reporters to standard output, then exit.
--help-reactors
List the names of possibly available reactors.
-l, --logfile <logfile>
Direct the log to a different file. The default file is 'test.log'. <logfile> is relative to _trial_temp.
-n, --dry-run
Go through all the tests and make them pass without running.
-N, --no-recurse
By default, trial recurses through packages to find every module inside every subpackage. Unless, that is, you specify this option.
--nopm Don't automatically jump into debugger for post-mortem analysis of exceptions. Only usable in conjunction with --debug.
--profile
Run tests under the Python profiler.
-r, --reactor <reactor>
Choose which reactor to use. See --help-reactors for a list.
--recursionlimit
Set Python's recursion limit. See sys.setrecursionlimit()
--reporter
Select the reporter to use for Trial's output. Use the --help-reporters option to see a list of valid reporters.
--spew Print an insanely verbose log of everything that happens. Useful when debugging freezes or locks in complex code.
--tbformat <format>
Format to display tracebacks with. Acceptable values are 'default', 'brief' and 'verbose'. 'brief' produces tracebacks that play
nicely with Emacs' GUD.
--temp-directory <directory>
WARNING: Do not use this options unless you know what you are doing. By default, trial creates a directory called _trial_temp under
the current working directory. When trial runs, it first deletes this directory, then creates it, then changes into the directory
to run the tests. The log file and any coverage files are stored here. Use this option if you wish to have trial run in a directory
other than _trial_temp. Be warned, trial will delete the directory before re-creating it.
--testmodule <filename>
Ask trial to look into <filename> and run any tests specified using the Emacs-style buffer variable 'test-case-name'.
--unclean-warnings
As of Twisted 8.0, trial will report an error if the reactor is left unclean at the end of the test. This option is provided to
assist in migrating from Twisted 2.5 to Twisted 8.0 and later. Enabling this option will turn the errors into warnings.
-u, --until-failure
Keep looping the tests until one of them raises an error or a failure. This is particularly useful for reproducing intermittent
failures.
--version
Prints the Twisted version number and exit.
--without-module <modulenames>
Simulate the lack of the specified comma-separated list of modules. This makes it look like the modules are not present in the sys-
tem, causing tests to check the behavior for that configuration.
-z, --random [<seed>]
Run the tests in random order using the specified seed.
