What tool?
(You really need to give specific information if you want useful answers!)
And try manually creating a CSV yourself (using notepad) and feed it that and see what happens. At least then that will tell you if the problem is the formatting of the CSV by "the tool" (whatever it is) or TestComplete when it reads it in.
All my tests (scripted) are data driven using data read in from an Excel spreadsheet (I don't use the DDT object, I have my own IDE extension modules which effectively form a test framework). I just tried feeding a textbox 10.10.10.10 from my Excel input sheet and it worked perfectly. The Excel cell format is "General" but the 10.10.10.10 being preceeded by "P:" (part of my framework, the "P:" indicates a parameter. It's not part of the actual data it feeds the TextBox) would likely cause Excel to treat it as Text and so not try and apply any crazy number formatting to it (which it would without the "P:").
I just created the CSV manually and tried it gives the same output.
please find the code and CSV file attached
function csv()
{
var FileName = "C:\\Users\\XXX\\Desktop\\testing.csv"
var output= DDT["CSVDriver"](FileName)
while (!output["EOF"]()){
Log["Message"](output["Value"]("test"))
}
DDT["CloseDriver"](output["Name"])
}

When I click or download that, it comes through as an Excel 2003 .xls file?
What did you create it with? If you created it with Excel, but saved it as a CSV ..... don't. Create it using NotePad.
I even tried creating it with Excel, but saved it as a CSV .. still it gives the same result
I have attached the created CSV file.

StaffThe text driver is scanning the rows and determining that that column contains numbers and is reading them as numbers. You could try prefacing all entries with an alphabetic character (ie, "x10.10.10.10") and then strip off the 'x' later). Or you could try setting up a Schema.ini file in the same directory to specify the column as text:
[testing.csv]
Col1=test Text
