Is there a way to remove the Header column row after performing the outputcsv command during a Splunk search?

I don't thing there is any way to remove the header by using a Splunk command that would remove it from the csv file generated by the outputcsv command. Your best bet would be to run a clean up script that removes the header info after the file is generated.

Can we get this feature added as an option to the outputcsv command? I have some tools that use CSV files for configs and it would be nice if Splunk could keep them dynamically updated.
