Hi Rajaini

You have a number of choices. Though it is not clear from your post, I assume that you provided a record/line in the text file. Then you may use:

?ALINES(awords,FILETOSTR("c:\hi1.txt"),.t.,",",CHR(13))

to dump all words separately in the array awords, or

?ALINES(arecords,FILETOSTR("c:\hi1.txt"),.t.,",",CHR(13))

to get records, and then pick words from the particular appropriately.

Or you may append the text file to the temporarely cursor/table:
CREATE TABLE c:\hi1 (fld1 n(2), fld3 c(15),flcd4 c(15))
APPEND FROM c:\hi1 delim WITH ,


Good Luck
