CLI list output gets shorter if captured in a shell (bash) variable or file

[RaitaroH]

RaitaroH/adl#9
Basically the output of trackma list is as wide as the terminal is. But once that output is captured to a variable or redirected to a file the output becomes way shorter and in turn cuts long anime names.

Results into a table as wide as your terminal.

trackma list

Doesn't look the same and it gets cut:

• variable:

tlist=$(trackma list) #or tlist=`trackma list`
echo "$tlist"

• file:

trackma list > list.txt 
cat list.txt

or

trackma list 1> list.txt
cat list.txt

Entry nr 8 gets cut and becomes unusable in a script:

The related code is here https://github.com/z411/trackma/blob/master/trackma/utils.py#L277-L296
The following command should be a logical way to go, however it requires int() calls to be inserted on line 292 to prevent strings from propagating and throwing errors elsewhere.
LINES=25 COLUMNS=130 trackma list > test.txt
