<h1>Path Expressions</h1>
<p>Path expressions are used to deeply navigate and match particular yaml nodes.</p>
<p><em>As a general rule, you should wrap paths in quotes in the CLI to prevent your interpreter from processing '*, []' and other special characters.</em></p>

<p>When specifying a key that has a dot use key lookup indicator.</p>

<pre><code class="bash">yaml r sample.yaml 'b[foo.bar]'

<pre><code class="bash">yaml w sample.yaml 'b[foo.bar]' 9

<p>Any valid yaml key can be specified as part of a key lookup.</p>
<p>Note that the path is in quotes to avoid the square brackets being interpreted by your shell.</p>
<h3 id="keys-and-values-with-leading-dashes">Keys (and values) with leading dashes<a class="headerlink" href="#keys-and-values-with-leading-dashes" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>If a key or value has leading dashes, yq won't know that you are passing a value as opposed to a flag (and you will get a 'bad flag syntax' error).</p>
<p>To fix that, you will need to tell it to stop processing flags by adding '--' after the last flag like so:</p>
<pre><code class="bash">yq n -t -- --key --value

<p>Will result in</p>

<h1>Niche</h1>
<h3 id="keys-with-dots">Keys with dots<a class="headerlink" href="#keys-with-dots" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>When specifying a key that has a dot use key lookup indicator.</p>
<pre><code class="yaml">b:
foo.bar: 7
</code></pre>
<pre><code class="bash">yaml r sample.yaml 'b[foo.bar]'
</code></pre>
<pre><code class="bash">yaml w sample.yaml 'b[foo.bar]' 9
</code></pre>
<p>Any valid yaml key can be specified as part of a key lookup.</p>
<p>Note that the path is in quotes to avoid the square brackets being interpreted by your shell.</p>
<h3 id="keys-and-values-with-leading-dashes">Keys (and values) with leading dashes<a class="headerlink" href="#keys-and-values-with-leading-dashes" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>If a key or value has leading dashes, yq won't know that you are passing a value as opposed to a flag (and you will get a 'bad flag syntax' error).</p>
<p>To fix that, you will need to tell it to stop processing flags by adding '--' after the last flag like so:</p>
<pre><code class="bash">yq n -t -- --key --value
</code></pre>
<p>Will result in</p>
<pre><code>--key: --value
</code></pre>

Path expressions are used to deeply navigate and match particular yaml nodes.
_As a general rule, you should wrap paths in quotes to prevent your CLI from processing '*, []' and other special characters._
## Simple expressions
### Maps
a.b.c
```yaml
a:
b:
c: thing # MATCHES
```
### Arrays
a.b[1].c
```yaml
a:
b:
- c: thing0
- c: thing1 # MATCHES
- c: thing2
```
#### Appending to arrays
(e.g. when using the write command)
a.b[+].c
```yaml
a:
b:
- c: thing0
```
Will add a new entry:
```yaml
a:
b:
- c: thing0
- c: thing1 # NEW entry from [+] on B array.
```
## Splat
### Maps
a.*.c
```yaml
a:
b1:
c: thing # MATCHES
d: whatever
b2:
c: thing # MATCHES
f: something irrelevant
```
#### Prefix splat
bob.item*.cats
```yaml
bob:
item:
cats: bananas # MATCHES
something:
cats: lemons
itemThing:
cats: more bananas # MATCHES
item2:
cats: apples # MATCHES
thing:
cats: oranges
```
### Arrays
a.b[*].c
```yaml
a:
b:
- c: thing0 # MATCHES
d: what..ever
- c: thing1 # MATCHES
d: blarh
- c: thing2 # MATCHES
f: thingamabob
```
## Deep Splat
'**' will match arbitrary nodes for both maps and arrays:
a.**.c
```yaml
a:
b1:
c: thing1 # MATCHES
d: cat cat
b2:
c: thing2 # MATCHES
d: dog dog
b3:
d:
- f:
c: thing3 # MATCHES
d: beep
- f:
g:
c: thing4 # MATCHES
d: boop
- d: mooo
```
## Search by children nodes
a.(b.d==cat).b.c
```yaml
a:
- b:
c: thing0
d: leopard
ba: fast
- b:
c: thing1 # MATCHES
d: cat
ba: meowy
- b:
c: thing2
d: caterpillar
ba: icky
- b:
c: thing3 # MATCHES
d: cat
ba: also meowy
```
### With prefixes
a.(b.d==cat*).c
```yaml
a:
- b:
c: thing0
d: leopard
ba: fast
- b:
c: thing1 # MATCHES
d: cat
ba: meowy
- b:
c: thing2 # MATCHES
d: caterpillar
ba: icky
- b:
c: thing3 # MATCHES
d: cat
ba: also meowy
```
## Special Characters
### Keys with dots
When specifying a key that has a dot use key lookup indicator.
```yaml
b:
foo.bar: 7
```
```bash
yaml r sample.yaml 'b[foo.bar]'
```
```bash
yaml w sample.yaml 'b[foo.bar]' 9
```
Any valid yaml key can be specified as part of a key lookup.
Note that the path is in quotes to avoid the square brackets being interpreted by your shell.
### Keys (and values) with leading dashes
The flag terminator needs to be used to stop the app from attempting to parse the subsequent arguments as flags, if they start if a dash.
```bash
yq n -j -- --key --value
```
Will result in
```
--key: --value
