# Pick
|
|
|
|
Filter a map by the specified list of keys. Map is returned with the key in the order of the pick list.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, filter an array by the specified list of indices.
|
|
|
|
## Pick keys from map
|
|
Note that the order of the keys matches the pick order and non existent keys are skipped.
|
|
|
|
Given a sample.yml file of:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
myMap:
|
|
cat: meow
|
|
dog: bark
|
|
thing: hamster
|
|
hamster: squeek
|
|
```
|
|
then
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq '.myMap |= pick(["hamster", "cat", "goat"])' sample.yml
|
|
```
|
|
will output
|
|
```yaml
|
|
myMap:
|
|
hamster: squeek
|
|
cat: meow
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Pick indices from array
|
|
Note that the order of the indices matches the pick order and non existent indices are skipped.
|
|
|
|
Given a sample.yml file of:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- cat
|
|
- leopard
|
|
- lion
|
|
```
|
|
then
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq 'pick([2, 0, 734, -5])' sample.yml
|
|
```
|
|
will output
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- lion
|
|
- cat
|
|
```
