CoffeeScript to JSON script for OS X

coffeetojson.sh

coffee --print --compile $1.coffee | sed '1s/^.//' | sed 's/  });/}/' | sed "s/\([^ '\"].*[^ '\"]\):/\"\1\":/" > $1.json

coffee --print --bare $1.coffee | sed '1s/&.//' | sed 's/});/}/' | sed 's/({/{/' | sed "s/\([^ '\"].*[^ '\"]\): /\"\1\": /1" > $1.json

Try this. Note the spaces after :
I have URLS as values and this was causing it to put quotes around part of it. The space after : fixed this.

With a bit more simplification and handling the input both from stdin and from a file name parameter:

#!/bin/sh
echo \{
    cat $1 | \
    coffee --print --bare --compile --stdio | \
    sed -e '1,2d; $d' | \
    sed "s/\([^ '\"].*[^ '\"]\): /\"\1\": /"
echo \}
