By any wild chance, do these csvs (and their lines) have a fixed length. If
this unlikely event were to happen, you might be able to use the PEEK
function to grab the chunks that you need.
Paul Dorfman has shown a neat application or two using Peek but I'm not at
all sure that it would work here.

Infile the 3rd line of lots of CSV

I would like to import just the third line of each of 20,000 CSV files. As
a partial solution to the problem, I tried using firstobs=3, but after
skipping the first two obs of the first file, SAS read all the lines
(including the first 2 lines) of the rest of the files. And I didn't have
any ideas on keeping SAS from reading the rest of the lines of each file.
Below is the base code I am using.
Bigfile="e:\Location\*.csv";
infile xxx filevar=BigFile dsd missover;
input .... ;
Thanks!
