Convert argus records to CSV

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Craig,
All the ra* programs can do this, its just an output format.
Just set the field separator to comma.

   ra -S argus.data.source -c ,

or you can set it in your rarc file using the RA_FIELD_DELIMITER.
Here is the relevant text in the sample rarc file.

# Most ra* clients are designed to print argus records out in ASCII,
# with each client supporting its own output formats.  For ra() like
# clients, this variable can overide the default field delimiter,
# which are variable spans of space (' '), to be any character.
# The most common are expected to be '\t' for tabs, and ',' for
# comma separated fields.
#
RA_FIELD_DELIMITER=''

Set that like this, in lets say /tmp/rarc if you don't want to do it in your ~/.rarc file.

RA_FIELD_DELIMITER=','

and then run ra like this:

   ra -F /tmp/rarc -S argus.data.source
