Hi,
I want to write a query where, I can store a result in csv file. for e.g "outputFile" and then search through that file using inputcsv
i.e.

search.......|outputcsv outputFile.csv|inputcsv outputFile.csv|search......|output Finalcsv.csv

I have tried, but failed everytime. Please help me with this query, where I can take the result , store it on one csv file, then do the remaining search from that csv file, in one single query.

Kindly Help.

Have you looked at this article, which describes how to set up a similar thing?

Why would you need that? you can use MAP command to search through the first result or manipulate it to get the final outputcsv result. Let us know the requirement.
