osql syntax

Hi
I am running osql utility like this...
C:\Temp>osql -U sa -P 5a -S %ServerName% -d pubs -Q "select title, notes
from titles" -o .\out.txt -s"," -w300 -h-1
And it produces the following in "out.txt":
== start of output ==

Sushi, Anyone?
,Detailed instructions on how to make authentic Japanese sushi in your spare
time.
(18 rows affected)
== end of output ==
Can anybody tell me
(a) how to remove the "(18 rows affected)" comment
(b) how to remove the %FieldValue% right padding. Ideally I'd like the
output to be
== start of output ==
%FieldValue%,%FieldValue%
%FieldValue%,%FieldValue%
== end of output ==
Thanks for any tips.
PS My actual queries will be bigger than bcp allows. I'd prefer not to have
to write the query as:
select '"' + title + '", "' + notes + '"' from titles

Neil
to avoid the rowcount, you can use -Q "set nocount on select title, notes
from titles". As far as I understand, you can't avoid the fixed width nature
of the output, apart from the concatenation solution you propose.
