<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 to prevent your CLI 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]'
</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>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.</p>
<pre><code class="bash">yq n -j -- --key --value
</code></pre>
<p>Will result in</p>
<pre><code>--key: --value
