I’m trying to read .csv files for visualization of 3D point data.
There is a lot of .csv files, and these files have two header rows.
I want to skip first row and read second rows as header.
(These files were read by deleting first row with other batch files, but it takes a long time)
Is it possible to read second row as header with functions of Paraview ?
Or is it possible by coding with python?
Thanks,Charon

I’m afraid this is not possible directly.
This can be done with a Python Programmable Source though.

Thank-you for your answer.
I will study phython and try it.
