Hi experts,
I have a .csv file from which i have to do bcp out and bcp in, in command prompt and store the data into a table called temp.

Look at the examples on this page and modify it to your situation. There are a number of examples there including creating a format file, using a format file to import data etc. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162802.aspx

Is there a reason you must use bcp? but something like this

bcp [dbname].schema.table in 'c:\test.csv' -T
