Can the mgconsole output style be changed to CSV like format?

Question

When I run MATCH (n)-[e]->(m) RETURN n, e, m; I get the output similar to this:

+--------------------------------+--------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| n                              | e                              | m                              |
+--------------------------------+--------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| (:User {id: "0", name: "0"})   | [:FRIENDS_WITH]                | (:User {id: "1", name: "1"})   |
| (:User {id: "0", name: "0"})   | [:FRIENDS_WITH]                | (:User {id: "2", name: "2"})   |
| (:User {id: "1", name: "1"})   | [:FRIENDS_WITH]                | (:User {id: "2", name: "2"})   |
| (:User {id: "0", name: "0"})   | [:FRIENDS_WITH]                | (:User {id: "3", name: "3"})   |
| (:User {id: "1", name: "1"})   | [:FRIENDS_WITH]                | (:User {id: "3", name: "3"})   |
| (:User {id: "2", name: "2"})   | [:FRIENDS_WITH]                | (:User {id: "3", name: "3"})   |
| (:User {id: "0", name: "0"})   | [:FRIENDS_WITH]                | (:User {id: "4", name: "4"})   |
| (:User {id: "0", name: "0"})   | [:FRIENDS_WITH]                | (:User {id: "5", name: "5"})   |
| (:User {id: "0", name: "0"})   | [:FRIENDS_WITH]                | (:User {id: "6", name: "6"})   |
| (:User {id: "4", name: "4"})   | [:FRIENDS_WITH]                | (:User {id: "6", name: "6"})   |
| (:User {id: "5", name: "5"})   | [:FRIENDS_WITH]                | (:User {id: "6", name: "6"})   |
| (:User {id: "0", name: "0"})   | [:FRIENDS_WITH]                | (:User {id: "7", name: "7"})   |
| (:User {id: "1", name: "1"})   | [:FRIENDS_WITH]                | (:User {id: "7", name: "7"})   |
| (:User {id: "2", name: "2"})   | [:FRIENDS_WITH]                | (:User {id: "7",

I have a awk onliner that I use for conversion, awk -F'[{|}]' 'BEGIN { OFS=","; print "n,e,m" } NF > 2 { print $2, $4, $6 }' input.txt > output.csv, but I'd like to skip this step if possible. Can the mgconsole output be directly in CSV format?

Answer 1

You need to start mgconsole with the flag -output_format. This flag can be csv or tabular.
