adding a header to a file

is it possible to add a header to an tFileOutputDelimited from a tMap, so that it appears at the top of the file only once and the rest of the rows are just appended on?

hi briansms, that sounds like a good idea, will row generater let me add any piece of text that i want to the file? if so can i run the two jobs parrallel then or does it really matter? cos obviouslly i need to add the row ( with the hardcoded string) first before i append the output from the tMap to the file.

my job currently looks like this:
fileInput -> tMap -> fileOutputDelimited
but i assume i need to run something like:
fileInput -> tMap -> fileOutputDelimited
rowGenerator -> fileOutputDelimited

Hi Indigo,
I haven't tried it yet myself, but since you want the text to appear at the top, I'd think you'd have to do something like this:
rowGenerator -> fileOutputDelimited

fileInput -> tMap -> fileOutputDelimited

I'll be gone a few days, so won't be able to try it myself until next week.
