Stop batch macro from adding filename to output

Hi All,

 

I've got a directory with 1,000's of text files that I need to convert into csv files. While converting the text files I also have to add missing column headings and reorder the columns. All text files have the same schema.

The attached batch macro does everything I am looking for, except it adds the FileName as a column. How do stop the batch macro from adding the FileName to each output ?

I tried this way - changed macro to macro output and then added the file output to the main WF.  Seems to work.

@sh_mryan made a few changes in the macro and it seems to be working for me
