Add blank rows to a CSV file

[padawanlinuxero]

I have a program that goes to a MySQL table and puts all the data of the table in a CSV file, now I want to leave 6 rows in blank at top of the file when open in Excel, but I dont know how to do that.


I use these to put all the data to into the csv file

my $sql = "SELECT * INTO OUTFILE 'c:/proyecto/$filename'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' FROM t3132";

can someone help me with these problem?

Thank you

Where is your code that produces the CSV output and writes it to a excel file? That is where you would insert a blank line.

As Kevin said..
use the following statement at the place where you have to leave empty rows.

print "\n" x 6; # as you mentioned 6 empty rows are needed.
