    Extract first line of multiple CSV File and save the results


    Thanks in advance for the help.I have a folder with multiple CSV files. I’d like to be able to extract the first line of each of the files and store the results in a separate CSV file. The newly created CSV file will have the first column as the file name and the second column to be the first line of the file.The output should look something like this as an exported CSV File:FileName,FirstLineFileName1,Col1,Col2,Col3FileName2,Col1,Col2,Col3Notes:There are other files that should be ignored. I’d like the code to loop through all CSV files which match the name pattern.&

    :)

    Extracting Zip Files


    Are the step-by-step processes identical? That is, the folder extracted from and the folder extracted to belong to the same hierarchical file system structure. If they are, that suggests mildly the Cumulative Update left an electron or two out of place.

  3. Extracting Zip Files


    Thanks pyramid10 for your contribution, I ensured that the steps taken and the source and destination folders were the same, in the using zip7 as suggested by BunnyJ resolved all issues for me.
    I am the first to admit that I am a long long way from understanding the intricacies of computers and if truth be told I am now to old anyway to absorb much information.
    Cheers.
