need single line output for CNAME records with awless list records

[lakamsani]

Hi,

For a CNAME record command like this awless records | grep CNAME, it is printing ttl on a second line like this. That makes it hard to write scripts that parse the output.

| awls-c6380b5c | CNAME | alias.domain.com. | real-host.amazonaws.com
| 60 |

If you could print them all one one line that would be great on your next update.

You should not use the default display format (table) to parse outputs in scripts. Tables are human readable and they may introduce line-breaks if entries are too long.
Use rather the csv (./awless list records --format csv) or tsv (./awless list records --format tsv) format that will be much easier to parse.

That being said, there was a bug in 0.0.19 in which ./awless list records --format csv/tsv also added new lines inside records (which broke CSV/TSV format). This is now fixed on master and will be in next release.

Thanks for the bug report.
