Feature request: Output as CSV

Open emilebosch opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hi Kelly hope you're good 👋 I thought maybe it was cool if we had a csv output. Let me know what you think <3

Hey Emile!

I have resisted it because there are other options (like jq), but seeing that CSV is fairly human readable it does seem to make sense. I might also add HTML table output support while adding CSV output. It will be a bit back-burner for now since I'm currently working on a bunch of /proc parsers for jc.

Perfect thanks Kelly! Yeah i know about jq csv options, but frankly its quite cumbersome to use so I rather would have it in a tool like this. Thanks so far!

Hi @emilebosch,

I added CSV and HTML output options in the dev branch. Can you pull it down and test?

Thanks!

I'm currently sorting columns alphabetically, but I have a way to preserve the column order a bit better that I may implement soon.

I think I have the column order figured out for the CSV output. I'll see if I can generalize that for all output now.
