Yaml files can be created using the 'new' command. This works in the same way as the write command, but you don't pass in an existing Yaml file.
```
yaml n <path> <new value>
```
### Creating a simple yaml file
```bash
yaml n b.c cat
```
will output:
```yaml
b:
c: cat
```
### Creating using a create script
Create scripts follow the same format as the update scripts.
Given a script create_instructions.yaml of:
```yaml
b.c: 3
b.e[0].name: Howdy Partner
```
then
```bash
yaml n -s create_instructions.yaml
```
will output:
```yaml
b:
c: 3
e:
- name: Howdy Partner
```
You can also pipe the instructions in:
```bash
cat create_instructions.yaml | yaml n -s -
```

```
yaml r <yaml file> <path>
```
### Basic
Given a sample.yaml file of:
```yaml
b:
c: 2
```
then
```bash
yaml r sample.yaml b.c
```
will output the value of '2'.
### From Stdin
Given a sample.yaml file of:
```bash
cat sample.yaml | yaml r - b.c
```
will output the value of '2'.
### Splat
Given a sample.yaml file of:
```yaml
---
bob:
item1:
cats: bananas
item2:
cats: apples
```
then
```bash
yaml r sample.yaml bob.*.cats
```
will output
```yaml
- bananas
- apples
```
### Handling '.' in the yaml key
Given a sample.yaml file of:
```yaml
b.x:
c: 2
```
then
```bash
yaml r 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 r sample.yaml b.e[1].name
```
will output 'sam'
### Array Splat
e.g.: given a sample file of
```yaml
b:
e:
- name: fred
value: 3
- name: sam
value: 4
```
then
```
yaml r sample.yaml b.e[*].name
```
will output:
```
- fred
- sam
```

```
yaml w <yaml file> <path> <new value>
```
### To Stdout
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
```
### From STDIN
```bash
cat sample.yaml | yaml w - b.c blah
```
### Adding new fields
Any missing fields in the path will be created on the fly.
Given a sample.yaml file of:
```yaml
b:
c: 2
```
then
```bash
yaml w sample.yaml b.d[0] "new thing"
```
will output:
```yaml
b:
c: cat
d:
- new thing
```
### Updating files in-place
Given a sample.yaml file of:
```yaml
b:
c: 2
```
then
```bash
yaml w -i sample.yaml b.c cat
```
will update the sample.yaml file so that the value of 'c' is cat.
### Updating multiple values with a script
Given a sample.yaml file of:
```yaml
b:
c: 2
e:
- name: Billy Bob
```
and a script update_instructions.yaml of:
```yaml
b.c: 3
b.e[0].name: Howdy Partner
```
then
```bash
yaml w -s update_instructions.yaml sample.yaml
```
will output:
```yaml
b:
c: 3
e:
- name: Howdy Partner
```
And, of course, you can pipe the instructions in using '-':
```bash
cat update_instructions.yaml | yaml w -s - sample.yaml
```
