Sqlcmd to generate file without dashed line under header, without row count

Question

Using the following sqlcmd script:

sqlcmd -S . -d MyDb -E -s, -W -Q \"select account,rptmonth, thename from theTable\"  
> c:\\dataExport.csv

<

Answer 1

To remove the Row Count: Add the below to your SQL statement

    SET NOCOUNT ON;

To remove the hyphen row try the following upon successful execution:

    findstr /v /c:"---" c:\dataExport.csv > c:\finalExport.csv

I use "---" as all my columns are over 3 characters and I never have that string in my data but you could also use "-,-" to reduce the risk further or any delimiter based on your data in place of the ",".
