Is there a better way to pass string output from jq to bash? -

-

i’ve discovered jq , been loving it. 1 thing find myself doing lot though stuff like:

result=$(jq --raw-output '.some | .filters // ""') if [[ $result ]];     foo else     bar fi

the default empty string seems play more nicely bash "truthiness" e.g. if [[ $result != "null" ]], , raw-output necessary store resultant string in variable. question is, i’m using these 2 tweaks consistently in scripts, there perhaps better way achieve same functionality? or make sense (as possible enhancement jq) able set couple env vars control behavior duration of script?

you can use -e flag make jq return exit code 0 if last output value neither false or null logic may become:

result=$(jq -e -r '.some | .filters') && foo || bar

i have struct struct control_data{ int column_number; qstring cell; }; i need send thread of qsharememory. read can't because qstring contains pointers inside. other ways? you have serialize struct byte array. can convert qstring const char* this: mystring.tostdstring().c_str(); but serializing qstring should work. the first step serialize struct qdatastream using qt, example here . then once struct can read , written can pass shared memory. a complete example of using qsharedmemory can found here . here relevant code: // first, test whether shared memory segment attached process. // if so, detach if (sharedmem.isattached()) { sharedmem.detach(); } ... qbuffer buffer; buffer.open( qbuffer::readwrite ); qdatastream out( &buffer ); out << youstruct; int size = buffer.size(); // size of int + size of qstring in bytes if ( !sharedmem.create( size ) ) { return; } // write shared memory sharedmem.lock(); char *to = (char*...
