Hi,

I have been trying to pipe the search output to a plain text file and have only been moderately successful with this.

Issue / Suggestion

If I call mpsyt /test > mpsytoutput.txt & it will write the first twenty entries to the file but will spawn a process in the background that keeps running until manually killed.

If I call mpsyt /test, q > mpsytoutput.txt & it will only write the title page to the text file and not return any results.

There probably is some linux command line magic that I am missing here but I was unable to find the solution.

Your Environment

I am working with mpsyt version 0.2.8 on a RaspberryPi with Rapsbian buster. Python is at version 3.7.3.

Any hints are appreciated!

To my embarrassment, the file actually does contain the output but since the file is so long it did not fit on my terminal with cat :D
