A feature to export every ASCII frame to a text file

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
To me, this utility is amazing, and very easy to use. I also want to use it for other projects, and I think if there is an option for exporting frames, it will be easier to use the ASCII outputs in different projects.

Describe the solution you'd like
Maybe some parameter like --export or -e which takes a folder and exports colorless ASCII output by creating text files for each frame.

For example, if --export testfolder/testsubfolder passed, the program can create testfolder/testsubfolder/0.txt for frame 1 and write the first frame's ASCII output. Then it creates testfolder/testsubfolder/1.txt for frame 2 and so on.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Maybe editing bash output to create something like this.

Thanks @devygz, sounds good, I'll try to add this feature.
