Carriage return in header of Flat File Destination

I'm trying to create a flat file that has a header like:

/INST=-1
/DELIMITER=","
/FIELDS=FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3,FIELD4
/LOCATION=100
data,data,data,data
data,data,data,data

where 'data' represents the data written out by the data flow process to the flat file destination. This actually turns out quite nice except that when I place the lines that start with '/' in the header box for the flat file destination the carriage return doesn't get written correctly after each line and I end up with an unrecognized character when I open the file in a simple app like notepad. I've tried using different encodings for the flat file connection, but to no avail. It is also interesting to note that when I close the package and reopen it the flat file destination editor UI also doesn't recognize the carriage returns and places a box in there place.

Below is a copy of the the property as it is written in the package xml:

<property id="92" name="Header" dataType="System.String" state="default" isArray="false" description="Specifies the text to write to the destination file before any data is written." typeConverter="" UITypeEditor="" containsID="false" expressionType="Notify">/INST=-1
/DELIMITER=","
/FIELDS=FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3,FIELD4
/LOCATION=100</property>

Any help is appreciated.

I was able to do this using a property expression on the 'header' property (accessed via expressions of the dataflow task).
When I reversed the order of \r\n to \n\r I do get some messages about inconsistent line delimeters in some editors.

"/INST=-1\r\n"
+"/DELIMITER=\",\"\r\n"
+"/FIELDS=FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3,FIELD4\r\n"
+"/LOCATION=100\r\n"

Hope this helps

|||How do you get to the "Expression" of the DataFlow task? Right-click does not list "expressions" as a menu item. The Advanced Editor does not provide any apparent access to "Expressions"...?|||In the control flow, right-click on the data flow task and select properties. Scroll down in that list and you'll see "Expressions."|||I'm trying to do something similar in setting up a header for a fixed width flat-file output. When I try to use \r\n after my text, the characters "\r\n" just show up in the header. How do I get a CR+LF? I've tried using ="mytext\r\n" and I just see that entire literal string, including the quotes, appear in the output.|||As Phil pointed out, on the Control Flow tab, you have a DataFlow component (which, when you edit it, leads to the DataFlow tab and displays components there). If you look at the properties for the object on the control tab, one of them is "Expressions" and you can open it to get at the properties of the components on the Dataflow tab (like header for a flat file destination.)

Setting the Expression to a quoted string allows you to include \r\n and they will be translated properly.
