Hi

Thanks for your reply ...Its working But Client also needs



{It also might be worth running an error check for the number of "commas" in each line of the created csv file.
There should be 5 commas in every line of the csv file. If there are less or more that this then the script should log an error and preferably rename the created file to .err (for example).}
could you please help me on this ..Thanks
