Output Headers to Notepad

I am outputting data to a Notepad file and I was wondering if there is a way to add the headers to the export.

A little bit hacky but a simple solution is to use a multi field formula to spit the column names in as a first row.

That worked perfectly.

Do you happen to know how to deliminate the data by a pipe ‘|’ ? 

Example below.

Use the CSV output type rather than the flat file format.

 

You can specify the delimeter (and include headers for free)
