parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 2, column 0












-1















i am trying to read for a big json data structure and I get the message: parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 2, column 0
The command that I'm using is the next one:



n_rules=$(echo rulebase_list | jq '.total')


and the file has in the first hierarchy level a variable which is



"total" : 126


Do you know why im experiencing problems with that?
I suppose that the problem is that 126 is a numeric value but what can I do?

          Carefully check your script against the one you posted in the question. If they match then the answer is very easy.



          There is no "total" : 126 in the string you pass to jq because you pass it the output of echo rulebase_list that is rulebase_list.



          What you probably wanted is to send to jq the content of the rulebase_list file and the tool for this is cat:



          n_rules=$(cat rulebase_list | jq '.total')


          Alternatively (and faster) is to redirect the input of jq from the file:



          n_rules=$(jq '.total' < rulebase_list)


          Or to specify the input file name as the last argument in the command line of jq:



          n_rules=$(jq '.total' rulebase_list)
