Report executes twice

[hsshah]

I am using command line interface to run a report through query reporter. The query runs for a while and returns several thousand rows that I export as a csv file. Now while exporting, it again executes the report. This takes twice the time compared to if I run it and copy paste from HTML view.

Can I tell query reporter not to generate the HTML view and directly export the data i.e just run the query once ?

Any help is appreciated.

The original data is only available in HTML format when you select the export function, so the query has to be executed again to obtain the raw data.
