Pardon my noob-ness in this. Earlier I tried importing, specifically citing for a file format which is *.chan* Then as I implemented the bailed-out scenario and your code that you have written, I got the same set of errors that I have posted previously and I am not getting any statement etc.
Still getting the unrecognized file error.
