    Hi, thanks for the help

     My code was this: This had space as delimiter .

    procedure( parseFile( fileName )
    let( (ruleFile line token tmpList Ctr wordlist)
     
        unless( ruleFile = infile( fileName)
          error( "Cannot open file %L for reading" fileName)
        ) ; unless
        
        Table = makeTable( "MY_TABLE" nil)
        Ctr = 1
        token = car( line)
        tmpList = cons( token tmpList)
        Table[token] = list( "list(")
        gets( line ruleFile)
        Ctr = Ctr + length(
      setof( paren parseString( line "") paren == "("))
        Ctr = Ctr - length(
      setof( paren parseString( line "") paren == ")")) 
      
        wordList = parseString( line " \n\t")
         while( Ctr != 0 && line
             Table[token] = cons( line Table[token])
                    gets( line ruleFile)
        wordList = parseString( line||"" " \n\t")
            Ctr = Ctr + length(
          setof( paren parseString( line||"" "") paren == "("))
             Ctr = Ctr - length(
        setof( paren parseString( line||"" "") paren == ")"))
           ) ; while 
         if( Ctr == 0 then
             Table[token] = reverse( cons( line
               Table[token]))
           else
      
      Table[token] = "ERROR "
           ) ; if
          );list      
          
          
      
        close(ruleFile)
        list( reverse( tmpList) Table )
      
     
       );let
     );procedure
       
    anyway thanks, i was experimenting with my input file and trying to bring changes in my code to as i felt that is the best way to learn.
