Is there a task type or method used by anyone to do the following:

Add a header row to a data file. Today we use a .BAT script to append the header from one file to a new file, then we run another command to append the data to the new file to accomplish this. So in VisualCron we create a BAT script and use the Execute task type.

What exactly do you mean by header? Just add a line on top of a text file?

Here's our business example:

1. We receive a product file from our client that has this layout, .txt FILE, PIPE delimited:

40720|ACME PRODUCT|BLUE|08/08/2013
40721|PAINT CAN|WHITE|08/15/2010

2. We create a header file, .txt FILE, PIPE delimited like this:

ITEM|ITEM DESCRIPTION|COLOR|EXPIRATION DATE

3. Our .bat script runs to merge both files, merging the contents of the header file first and a carriage return, then the data to create a file we can import that has this layout, .txt FILE, PIPE delimited:

ITEM|ITEM DESCRIPTION|COLOR|EXPIRATION DATE
40720|ACME PRODUCT|BLUE|08/08/2013
40721|PAINT CAN|WHITE|08/15/2010

You should be able to use the Concatenate files Task for this.

Thanks Henrik, sorry I should have tried that, I'll see if that does the trick.
