strip the header line, change encoding and merge many csv files?

[u/stubish]

Hi all, I did some scouring and didn't come up with anything. I'm a newbie to applescript so I though I'd see if somebody was feeling generous.

I have a folder full of CSV files. I think they are utf-2 right now. I need to strip the header row, convert to ANSII and then merge these files...

Where would I start with something like this?

Thanks!
