Help using outputlookup command to display fields on CSV header.

[jip31]

Hi,

I use a scheduled search in order to generate a CSV lookup automatically:

patch

| table Computer Site OSVersion
| rename Computer as host
| outputlookup host.csv

But on the first line of the CSV, I need to display the 3 fields on the header like host, site, and OS version.

If I add these fields in the CSV before running the search, I would like to know if these fields are going to be deleted when the search is finished?

Thanks.

Hi @jip31 ,

You can use outputlookup on an existing lookup, so you can create the lookup header (with the fields you like) using e.g. Lookup Editor App.

What do you need to create: a lookup or a csv file?

If a lookup, you don't need to insert header.

If a csv file, use outputcsv instead outputlookup and header is automatically inserted.

You could also add the header but it it's unuseful.

Ciao.

The outputlookup command will put the header row in place as well.
