I'm facing an issue where I need to select and filter a value that contains a space in it. My attempt involves using a for loop, but unfortunately, I'm not getting any output with this approach. I even tried utilizing --arg name "$i", however, that didn't yield the desired results either.
The values I am working with are "dummy group 1" and "dummy group 2".
group_list=("dummy group 1", "dummy group 2");
for i in "${group_list[@]//,/}"
do
echo $groupid_json | jq -r '.result[] | select(.name == "$i") | .groupid'
done
Despite my efforts, nothing seems to be happening. Below is the JSON data that I am attempting to filter:
[
{
"groupid": "92",
"name": "dummy group 1"
},
{
"groupid": "93",
"name": "dummy group 2"
}
]
If I directly input the value, then the filtering works as expected.
echo $groupid_json | jq -r '.result[] | select(.name == "dummy group 1") | .groupid'
