Re: deleting multiple column headers in csv file
If your header line is shorter than 1024 bytes and does not have any special characters in it, you can use this. set /p header=<%p%Student.csv echo %header% > %p%Student_%t%.csv findstr /v /c:"Student Group" %p%Student.csv >> %p%Student_%t%.csv This code works! Thank you so much!

deleting multiple column headers in csv file
I have a csv extract that have repeated header columns on it. The header shows up on every group data. Is there a way to just delete all other instance of that header and just retain the one on the top.
When I try to use findstr it will delete all of my columns.
