A little while ago, I’d to extract the filename (without the extension) from a particular JSON file. There’a a neat basename utility that I didn’t know about.
However, it cannot accept STDIN so if you’re using it with pipes, you need to use xargs.
🔗Get the filename with extension
cat ~/app.json | jq '.file_path' | xargs basename
🔗Remove the extension
cat ~/app.json | jq '.file_path' | xargs basename -s .txt
