  Hi There..

  I have a situation where I need to read data from mutiple flat files to single flat file.

  The problem is every source file is having column headers, so when I am reading data from mutiple files and appending into single file, the headers are also getting appended mutiple times. I need to avoid this.

  I have tried Data rows to skip and Headers rows to skip but they are skipping rows after the header columns as I have identified that the first row is header columns...

  need some pointers

  thanks,

  satisht

  As long as you can find some suitable selection logic, you could use a conditional split to redirect header rows (to nowhere).
