Syntax: cat <filename> | jq -c '.[] | select( .<key> | contains("<value>"))'
Example: To get json record having _id equal 611
cat my.json | jq -c '.[] | select( ._id | contains(611))'
Remember: if JSON value has no double quotes (eg. for numeric) to do not supply in filter i.e. in contains(611)
From Command prompt on windows, it's like so: (use more
if you don't have cat
- or get cat
)
