[Tutor] Adding Value to CSV

[Paras K.]

What I am trying to do is as I am writing the row to the CSV file, I want to
add the string base on a few other checks that I still need to write.

Ex.

readline = '"152.88.91.98","BitTorrent Client Activity","1","2009-09-23
15:40:33"\r\n'

At the end of this based on my checks I want to be able to write a string
like

Part of DHCP Pool or Part of VPN Pool

So the final line should be something like this written to the CSV file:

'"152.88.91.98","BitTorrent Client Activity","1","2009-09-23 15:40:33",
"Part of DHCP Pool"

Thanx in advance for the help.
