How to obtain attribute names

I have a bunch of TAB-files and I want to document for each file which attributes that are present. I'm not interested in the values of the attributes or the geometry. Just the name of the attributes. How can I in a generic way document the attribute names my TAB-files have?

AttributeFileWriter + newline

Trying to use an AttributeFileWriter and insert a newline within my concatenaed string. So I want the following attribute  myAttrib= 'Firsttext \\n Lasttext'  to be written to a file like this:  Firsttext Lasttext  I see there is an Append-mode in FME 2013 - but I assume it should be possible to add linebreaks also to the FME2012? All help appreciated

Compare zoning of parcels in two Oracle databases

I have an Oracle database with a parcels layer and a zoning layer. I also have another Oracle database with parcels table and an "attributes" table containing which zone applies to which parcel.  I want to use the relationship between the two layers to compare with the "attributes" table and produce a list of records to correct, based on the assumption that the map layers are correct.  I've tried the AreaOnAreaOverlayer and the Clipper transformer without success.  What method would you recommend to efficiently achieve the correct result?

Smart Delete without the Delete?

With the new Smart Delete functionality, will it be possible to right-click on a transformer and select "Disconnect" or "Remove from Workflow" or something without deleting it?  I often find myself re-ordering transformers, and without this would still have to manually delete/redraw the connections before re-inserting the transformer earlier / later in the workflow.  And yes, I know, "go download the beta and try for yourself!" (sorry)

Remove fme format attributes from Generic Reader

Generic Reader is outputting extra fme format attributes. Eg:   mapinfo_symbol_color   db_type   jpeg_type   csv_number_of_fields   I want to drop all these attributes leaving only the 'native' attributes but it is hard to do this with a text filter since the pattern varies depending on the input format.  Any ideas?   Unfortunately I can't just ignore them in the writer because I am writing the list of attributes to a string.
