Hi ,I have a flat file that I am moving from one location to another. While moving from source location to destination I want to add double quotes to the header as well as rows(Enclose the column names and data values in double-quotes) while loading it to the destination. How do I do that?

Thanks in advance.

    Hello @ZoeHui-MSFT , why can't we simply use just Flat file source directly connected to Flat file destination. And in the Flat file destination just change the Text qualifier to quotes.?? Why this lengthy route?

    Also, the following settings for Flatfilesource and FlatFiledestination. Please suggest. Just trying to learn. Thanks in advance.

    Hi @CzarR ,

    You may follow the steps to meet your requirement.

    1.In the flat file source connection manager, don't choose "Column names in the first data row"

    2.Use Derived Column to add double quotes.

    " \" " + [Column 0] + " \" "

    3.In the destination file manager, choose header rows to skip for 1.
