Which is a bit hard to believe. The comma in my proposal above comes from the echo statement, and the two values are from line 2 and the LAST line of the "datafile.txt" that you attached. First thought would be the comma is in the data.

WHat results do get applying the proposal to the attached "datafile.txt"?
Does your other/new file obey the exactly same structure?
