Read examples

yaml <yaml file> <path>

Basic

Given a sample.yaml file of:

b:
  c: 2

then

yaml sample.yaml b.c

will output the value of '2'.

Arrays

You can give an index to access a specific element: e.g.: given a sample file of

b:
  e:
    - name: fred
      value: 3
    - name: sam
      value: 4

then

yaml sample.yaml b.e.1.name

will output 'sam'

TODO

• Updating yaml files
• Handling '.' in path names
