Hi,

I really appreciate your efforts here. I am a beginner for scripting and have very little knowledge. I hope you can understand my position. You may be correct but we dont have csvtool installed in our clients environment. probably client may not give access to such utility. I need to check with them.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards,
Litu
