YAQL parsing issue with special characters #17

Closed jayaprakashr88 closed 9 years ago

jayaprakashr88 commented 9 years ago

YAQL wrongly identifies "-" in variable name as arithmetic operator minus.

No data loaded into context Type '@load data-file.json' to load data

yaql> @load test.json Data from file 'test.json' loaded into context yaql> $ { "name": "test_yaql", "key-name": "openstack" } yaql> $.key-name Execution exception: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'NoneType' and 'str' yaql>

Is there a way to escape special characters in YAQL ?

jayaprakashr88 commented 9 years ago

YAQL supports retrieval of a value if the keyname has special characters. Just it should be enclosed within single quotes.

yaql> $.'key-name' "openstack" yaql>
