### 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.
