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.

The 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 TextSee Using CSV Files as Data Storages for more info.

Think Joseph has cleared this up then. (Thanks Joseph)
It's down to how the TC driver is interpreting it. Sorted.

Thanks Joseph, Solution provided by you was already identified and mentioned in my first comment.
Do let me know if i add Schema.ini with that fix without modifying?? If yes, do let me know how to create Schema.ini and use it.
I would like to get the solution which doesnot involve any modification in the csv file since its autogenerated and will be using those csv as the intermediate input.
