It is always helpful to post EXACTLY what "doesn't work" and so keep people from guessing.
Any output? No output? Error messages?

Both scripts need to be run in sequence, and the data file name needs to be "filename", so either rename your file or adapt/correct in the second script line 7. On top, it would be beneficial to remove the ^M (\r, 0x0D) DOS line terminators from the input file.

It were benficial also if the requirements and data structures DON'T change between posts (compare #1 and #6).
