How to skip line for delimited file type?

Question

Hi, i wanna ask how to skip (example: the first two line) for delimited file type?
Thanks...
Here is my script
Function NY_Skip06Center [strField, strRecord]
' FDM DataPump Import Script:
'Created by: FDM_Admin
'Date created: 2/28/2006
Dim strEntity
'Check first two characters of entity
For strEntity = 1 to 6
'Skip line
Res.PblnSKip = True
Next strEntity
End if
End Function
But it returns this error when imported
Error: An error occurred importing the file.
Detail: Object variable or With block variable not set
Anyone knows what's wrong

Answer 1

strAcc = DW.Utilities.fParseString (strField, 1, 1, chr(9))
I didn't look closely enough last time. The above is illogical. The parsestring function parses a string based on a delimiter.
The function has these arguments:
String to Parse
How many fields are in the string
The parsed field to return
Field delimiter
In the above, strField is returning the field specified in your import format. You are also saying that there is a total of 1 field. If that were the case, you wouldn't need to parse anything.
I am guessing that your call needs to look something more like this:
strAcc = DW.Utilities.fParseString (*strRecord*, *8*, 1, chr(9))
Make sense?
If not, maybe you can include a few sample lines from your data file and that will make it easier to help you.
Is your import format fixed or delimited?
