To address a 2D array in Ruby, you need something like this:
dataArray[i][j]
when you write dataArray[i,j] you are accessing a slice.
Try this:
dataArray= Array.new
n = 0
File.new("data.csv").each_line do |line|
line.chomp!
dataArray[n] = line.split(',')
n += 1
end
i=0
while(i < dataArray.length)
# go to address query start
puts "First: #{dataArray[i][0]}"
puts "Second: #{dataArray[i][1]}"
puts "Third: #{dataArray[i][2]}"
sleep 2
i = i + 1
sleep 2
end

P.S. By convention, variable names that start with a capital are Constants.
