reading from a file

[looseCannon101]

hi im currently working on a small project to make a bill bored chart and its on and we have to read the artists from a "csv" file we cannot use "import csv" methords and im still in the basic structure of reading the csv file but when i input the name and the delimiter it does not print in the array it just prints blank array this is what i have done so far
code

userFileName=input("Input the file name :- ")
userDelimiter=input("input the delimiter :- ")
userArray=[]

def get_csv_as_table(filename, delimiter):
    csvFile=open(filename)
    for row in csvFile:
        #row=row.strip()
        row=row.split(delimiter)
    userArray.append(row)
    print(userArray)

get_csv_as_table(userFileName, userDelimiter)
