I have a flat file source editor for CSV file.
In the flat file connection manager, I can see the whole rows are visible in the preview section of the connection manager but when I am running the package ,finds that it picks only subset of rows from the csv file flat file source editor.Flat file source editor is not picking the whole data.
Why not picking all rows and only subset of rows...
Thanks,

I have a flat file which consists a line(when I look through the Excel) and some amount of characters when I open it with Notapad.
How to skip this INFO string and begin download data after this line.
There is my line on skreen.
I use SSIS package to download data from file.
Are you using the flat file connection manager? If so double click flat file connection manager, go to the preview page there is an option to allow you to skip certain number of ahead rows
I have a csv file which is not loading data. But it loads when i
1) open the file and save it in the same location.
2) delete any of the empty records or non empty records.
I am receiving file from ftp source. Is there any reason that why SSIS package is not loading data without doing any of the above steps.
Using SSIS, uploading from a text file to SQL Server database table, I need to add the text file name as a column in the results dataset. I am able to create a flat file source, get the data from the file, load into an OLE DB Destination but I am missing the step to add the filename to the dataset.
Basic user using VS, mostly a SQL Production DBA but our developers said to create an SSIS package to upload the daily text file.
In your flat file source, right click on it and go to advanced properties. In the Advanced Properties editor, select the Component Properties tab and then under Custom Properties, there is a FileNameColumnName. Here I used SourceFileName
I attached a data viewer between my flat file source and the next component et voilà!
I have a CSV file that I use a SSIS package to import into SQL Server. I am looking at the 'Flat File Source Editor' under 'Data Flow' and I see a list of 'External Column' with the matching 'Output Column'. If I have a new column in my CSV file, how would I add that to be included in the import? I don't see an option to add a new column in the Flat File Source Editor.

It is not the flat file source that you need to change, it is the flat file connection manager. Your source references a connection manager. You should see that connection manager listed in the 'Connection Managers' tab below the design surface. Edit the column list on that connection manager (or refresh from your source file). After doing that you should see the new column listed in the Flat File Source component.
I am trying to import multiple tab delimited files into a sql server table using a SSIS package. I set the flat file source and created a flat file connection manager but I was told I will need to create multiple flat file sources for this. This cannot be true right?
Is there not someway I can use a loop and the source folder directory location?
So long as the files are all the same structure, you'd use a for-each loop, of type file. Point it at the folder with the files in, and assign a variable to the file+path. Then use that variable as an expression on the flat file connection manager.
Here is a link that shows how to do this: http://www.sqlis.com/sqlis/post/Looping-over-files-with-the-Foreach-Loop.aspx
I like the layout and the graphical indicators used on that page.
