# Rename Column

### Overview

The **RenameColumn** component renames a column in a CSV file. This is useful for standardizing column names before processing or integrating CSV data with other systems.

### Input Parameters

| Parameter       | Type     | Required | Description                                                |
| --------------- | -------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `fileId`        | `string` | ✅        | The ID of the CSV file where the column should be renamed. |
| `delimiter`     | `string` | ✅        | The character used to separate columns (default: `,`).     |
| `columnName`    | `string` | ✅        | The name of the column to be renamed.                      |
| `newColumnName` | `string` | ✅        | The new name for the column.                               |

### Output Parameters

| Parameter | Type     | Description                                     |
| --------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| `fileId`  | `string` | The ID of the CSV file with the renamed column. |

### Instructions

1. **Specify CSV File and Delimiter**
   * Provide the `fileId` of the CSV file containing the column to be renamed.
   * Set the correct `delimiter` (e.g., `,`, `;`, `\t`).
2. **Rename the Column**
   * Enter the current column name in `columnName`.
   * Specify the new column name in `newColumnName`.
3. **Processing**
   * The component will rename the specified column in the CSV file.
   * The modified file will be outputted with a new `fileId`.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.appmixer.com/connector-configuration/utils/csv/renamecolumn.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
