    im not 100 sure exactly what you want but if the second line is always blank then start at the 3rd 

     BULK  INSERT Table_name  FROM  path_filename  WITH  (FIRSTROW = 3,FIELDTERMINATOR = '','',ROWTERMINATOR = ''\n'')

    ***The first step is always the hardest *******

    Just delete the blank row after inserting.

    Unless they've changed it recently, BULK INSERT and BCP are delimiter sensitive when it comes to counting rows rather than what humans perceive to be a line in a file.  If you don't have the same delimiters on row 1 and 2 as there are in the "body" of the rest of the file, you'll either get an error or you'll be missing some data in all but the perfect accident.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
