Option to "list" in a different format (raw data) [feature request]

[RaitaroH]

Hi,

Thank you for the awesome program. I am heavily using it with my adl script.

I think it would be very helpful, both to me for my adl script, but also others like justchokingaround/trackma-wrapper to allow trackma -a 1 list to output in a different format upon request. What I mean is, by default it shows a table, but for scripting purposes having it in a character delimited format, or even json would be much better.

For example, right now the output looks like this if I copy paste it:

| Index  Title                                           Progress  Score  |
|   1    �[0;34mBlue Lock�[0m......................................   9 / 24   5.5   |
|   2    �[0;34mBocchi the Rock!�[0m...............................   9 / 12   6.5   |
|   3    �[0;34mChainsaw Man�[0m...................................   9 / 12   5.5   |
|   4    �[0;34mDo It Yourself!!�[0m...............................  10 / 12    6    |
|   5    �[0;31mIsekai Oji-san�[0m.................................   9 / 13   6.5   |
|   6    Kyokou Suiri...................................   4 / 12    0    |
|   7    �[0;34mMairimashita! Iruma-kun 3�[0m......................   9 / 21    5    |
|   8    �[0;34mMeitantei Conan�[0m................................ 1066 / ?   7.5   |
|   9    �[0;34mSPY×FAMILY Part 2�[0m..............................  10 / 13    7    |
|   10   �[0;34mTensei Shitara Ken Deshita�[0m.....................  11 / 12    5    |
|   11   �[0;31mUchi no Shishou wa Shippo ga Nai�[0m...............  10 / 13   6.5   |
11 results

This requires a bit of scripting to clean up and to get anime titles, or to use trackma info index which is slow.

As such I believe that following would be much nicer: trackma -a 1 list raw

1|"Blue Lock"|9|24|5.5
2|"Bocchi the Rock!"|9|12|6.5

This allows for very simple awk -F'|' '{print $n}' type commands.

Separating the fields with a tab (or using JSON, as you mentioned) would be a better approach than a |.

@FichteFoll I made a PR for this. Hopefully it will get accepted.
