Use cypher file and export results to csv using pre-existing database? #81

I have a pre-existing database. How can I use a .cql file to run a query on it and then pipe the results to a csv file? It's unclear to me how to do all of these things together based on the manual.

Hey, you can have your server running on that database or use shell with a db on disk.

You can use bin/neo4j-shell -file run.txt then it connects to a running server and will execute all shell commands in the run.txt file.

Thanks! My issue is asked in the stack overflow question. The command:

Neo4j> Neo4jShell -file query.cql > out.csv

essentially works. The only problem is that the cypher query output that I write to a csv file isn't in a comma separated format.
