age: 23
---

value: 3
- name: sam

</code></pre>
<p>then</p>
<pre><code>yq r sample.yaml 'b.e[1].name'
</code></pre>
<p>will output 'sam'</p>
<p>Note that the path is in quotes to avoid the square brackets being interpreted by your shell.</p>
<h3 id="array-splat">Array Splat<a class="headerlink" href="#array-splat" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>e.g.: given a sample file of</p>
<pre><code class="yaml">b:

value: 3
- name: sam
value: 4
</code></pre>
<p>then</p>
<pre><code>yq r sample.yaml 'b.e[*].name'
</code></pre>
<p>will output:</p>
<pre><code>- fred

<p>Note that the path is in quotes to avoid the square brackets being interpreted by your shell.</p>
<h3 id="keys-with-dots">Keys with dots<a class="headerlink" href="#keys-with-dots" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>When specifying a key that has a dot use key lookup indicator.</p>
<pre><code class="yaml">b:
foo.bar: 7
</code></pre>
<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>
