# Create
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
yq n <path_expression> <new value>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This works in the same way as the write command, but you don't pass in an existing Yaml file. Currently this does not support creating multiple documents in a single yaml file.
|
|
|
|
See docs for [path expression](../usage/path-expressions.md) and [value parsing](../usage/value-parsing.md) for more details, including controlling quotes and tags.

|
## Creating a simple yaml file
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq 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
|
|
- command: update
|
|
path: b.c
|
|
value:
|
|
#great
|
|
things: frog # wow!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
then
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yq n -s create_instructions.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
will output:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
b:
|
|
c:
|
|
#great
|
|
things: frog # wow!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also pipe the instructions in:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat create_instructions.yaml | yq n -s -
|
|
```
