I know I could read them in and use a counter and a tester to throw away all but the first line - but that would still mean that the whole of the file was read first - these are large files so I would prefer not to do that.

Reading CSV Files
I have a set of CSV files and for each of them I would just like to read in the first line of the file. Is there an easy way to do that?

Hi IanM,
"Max Features to Read" parameter of the CSV Reader might help you. Have a look at [CSV] Reader > Parameters > Advanded node in the Navigator window.
