Hi Jay,  
Thanks for the reply.  
I was able to do it by using the Fast CSV node( Credit to the dev!). It formatted the data without the template header.  
Thanks for guiding me in the right direction with your example ; )

Hi Zeno,  
By Using "fast csv node" (credit to the dev again)" i was able to add "/n" to the end of the Csv file within "fast CSV node " and when i appended the new data with the new column header it appended to the csv file with the new column header data, all previous row with no new column data was blank.  
Thanks you for the heads up!

Thanks for recommending that node. Installed it on one of my test instances to give it a try and am really digging it.
