Hi there (and happy 2013/Christmas/Hanukkah/Diwali),
I've got to create some CSV files of generic data (e.g. product name, type etc. sold in the previous week) but it's too difficult for me and I would really appreciate your individual/collective wisdom.
It is a CSV file but I also need its first record to be a header file which will be pipe-delimited. Is that actually possible?
And this header file will have very different contents to the rest of file (i.e. 3 columns rather than the expected 5, as there were 5 columns in the data section).
This header record needs to state the (1) Name of the file, (2) The date of extraction in "dd/mm/yyyy" format, (3) the number of records in the data section (i.e. this file excluding this header row).
And somehow this CSV's filename has to be in the format where the last 8 characters (preceding the ".csv" extension) are the date in this format "ddmmyy".
I hope it was clear enough, please help.
Many thanks,
Simon
