Select from multiple objects

[CompuRoot]

Hi all !

I do probably something wrong, but I can't get to work simplest things:

echo '{"name":"Bob"}{"name":"Tom"}' | dasel -m -p json '.name'

It returned:

Error: could not query multiple node: could not find multiple value: selector [type:PROPERTY selector:.name] does not support value: [kind:slice type:[]interface {}] [map[name:Bob] map[name:Tom]]

while the same things with jq works as expected:

echo '{"name":"Bob"}{"name":"Tom"}' | jq '.name'

which returns:

"Bob"
"Tom"

I would be really appreciated if some one will find a time to explain what Im doing wrong

You'll want to use .[*].name here.

.name is looking for a name property on the array, for which there isn't.
[*] performs the multi select for all items in that array, and then you can target the name of each.

Thank you ! I knew, it should be simple.
