```
|
|
yaml <yaml file> <path>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Basic
|
|
Given a sample.yaml file of:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
b:
|
|
c: 2
|
|
```
|
|
then
|
|
```bash
|
|
yaml sample.yaml b.c
|
|
```
|
|
will output the value of '2'.
|
|
|
|
### Handling '.' in the yaml key
|
|
Given a sample.yaml file of:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
b.x:
|
|
c: 2
|
|
```
|
|
then
|
|
```bash
|
|
yaml sample.yaml \"b.x\".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
|
|
```yaml
|
|
b:
|
|
e:
|
|
- name: fred
|
|
value: 3
|
|
- name: sam
|
|
value: 4
|
|
```
|
|
then
|
|
```
|
|
yaml sample.yaml b.e[1].name
|
|
```
|
|
will output 'sam'
|
|
|
|
### Updating yaml
|
|
Given a sample.yaml file of:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
b:
|
|
c: 2
|
|
```
|
|
then
|
|
```bash
|
|
yaml w sample.yaml b.c 'cat'
|
|
```
|
|
will output:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
b:
|
|
c: cat
|
|
```
