Hi Steve, I did something similar before by sending all the files through individually as 'text file' instead of CSV, add a count attribute to each line starting at 1, use attribute filter to send each count of '1' to an unused file and the rest output as text file for use as a CSV file, with the fields now on the first line.
Sounds confusing, but I hope this gives you an idea. Bryan Bryan Waller, GIS Specialist Midwest Survey Inc.

I have hundreds of CSV files to read, but the field names start on the second line, not the first. So not only to I want to skip the first two lines of every file when reading for data, I want to use the field names located on the second line. Can't seem to see a way to specify the line that holds the field name other than only being able to select the first line. Can anyone suggest a work around, or can I suggest this option be added to a future build? I'm running build 1314 Thanks Steve Get the maximum benefit from your FME, FME Objects, or SpatialDirect via our Professional Services team. Visit www.safe.com/services for details. Yahoo!
