The error "Expected file identifier" is caused because
of a miss-match beween the VarX, and VarY variables
and the actual number of CSV numbers in the file.
After the last value is #read the file automatically
closes, and Text (the file handle) becomes undefined.
Then when it loops and #reads again it crashes. The
values read from the file (7 and 7) reflect that there
are 49 sets of 3 to read, the loops start at 0 and
continue up to 7, attempting to read in 64 sets of 3.
You can change the (VarY <= MaxY) to (VarY < MaxY), and
(VarX <= MaxX) to (VarX < MaxX) to make it work.
