Because you have to add the text at the top of the file there really isn't a "non-clunky" way to do this. This is what I do when I need to add a header row to CSV files (although I do it in PowerShell, it's effectively the same thing).

My solution is to have a batch file that copies a file with what I need (the batch file simply has "copy filea.txt+file1.csv readytoftp.csv) Filea.txt has the line I need to add file1.csv is the export (from ADFIND) readytoftp.csv is the file that's ready to ship This works fine but strikes me as overly clunky, is there a more elegant way to add to the front of a .CSV file?
