Thanks for your prompt response, Neil.

Well, I should have said that this is one kind of data. The function
is part of a larger app, and there is the possibility that someone
uses headers in the data files, or some other field separator, so I
tried to make it more universal.

I tried that, no changes

thanks for pointing that out.it stopped the errors when there s only
one
data line, but it still can't get the values for that line
