Question

I\'m trying to parse a JSON object within a shell script into an array.

e.g.: [Amanda, 25, http://mywebsite.com]

The JSON looks like:

jq is good enough to solve this problem

paste -s <(jq '.files[].name' YourJsonString) <(jq '.files[].age' YourJsonString) <( jq '.files[].websiteurl' YourJsonString) 

So that you get a table and you can grep any rows or awk print any columns you want
