Deleting rows from csv file
Hello,
I am supposed to process about 100 csv files. But these files have some extra lines at the bottom of the file. these extra lines start with a header for each column and then some values below. These lines are actually a summary of the actual data and not supposed to be processed. These unncessary lines may be different for each files. Data To be deleted are as under:
Yr, Month, Prod
2009, 09, XYX
2008, 04, YYY
Is there any way I can delete these unnecessary lines of each files without opening them individually and manually deleting it?
I Appreciate a help in this.
Regards
