CSV Header Date as Column using SSIS 2012

  • I'm new to both the forum and SQL Server. I'm using the Integration Services tool to manage the upload of multiple flat files into a data warehouse.

    Most of the CSV files have several rows of data in the header detail before getting to the actual data. Not a problem, I just skip the first 8 rows and the data imports just fine.

    My problem is that the date of the data is in the header information. I have to find the row with this value - Date range,"Mar 3, 2014 - Mar 3, 2014" - and extract that date (3/3/14) into a new column before inputting that into the destination.

    If I just focus on the date, I was able to use a combination of a Flat file Source, Conditional Split (finding the row where LEFT([column],10) = "Date range"), and a Derived Column to pull that date out.

    I know there is probably a better way using a script task, but I haven't gotten into C# and am not really sure where to start, or how to integrate that into the flow.

    Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
