I don't think you want to be messing around in the export code. It would be far easier to write a command line program to open the file and delete the first line. What kind of computer is this going to run on? (linux, windows etc).

I do projects like you describe. The program would log into your x-cart, export the orders, convert the data format as needed and import into Paypal. All automatically every day.

If you'd like to talk about that email me at the address below.
