使用Python的PyYAML或YAML::Perl等库最容易进行复杂的解析。

如果您希望将所有YAML值解析为bash值，请尝试此脚本。这也可以处理注释。参见下面的示例用法:

# pparse.py

import yaml
import sys
            
def parse_yaml(yml, name=''):
    if isinstance(yml, list):
        for data in yml:
            parse_yaml(data, name)
    elif isinstance(yml, dict):
        if (len(yml) == 1) and not isinstance(yml[list(yml.keys())[0]], list):
            print(str(name+'_'+list(yml.keys())[0]+'='+str(yml[list(yml.keys())[0]]))[1:])
        else:
            for key in yml:
                parse_yaml(yml[key], name+'_'+key)

            
if __name__=="__main__":
    yml = yaml.safe_load(open(sys.argv[1]))
    parse_yaml(yml)

test.yml

- folders:
  - temp_folder: datasets/outputs/tmp
  - keep_temp_folder: false

- MFA:
  - MFA: false
  - speaker_count: 1
  - G2P: 
    - G2P: true
    - G2P_model: models/MFA/G2P/english_g2p.zip
    - input_folder: datasets/outputs/Youtube/ljspeech/wavs
    - output_dictionary: datasets/outputs/Youtube/ljspeech/dictionary.dict
  - dictionary: datasets/outputs/Youtube/ljspeech/dictionary.dict
  - acoustic_model: models/MFA/acoustic/english.zip
  - temp_folder: datasets/outputs/tmp
  - jobs: 4
  - align:
    - config: configs/MFA/align.yaml
    - dataset: datasets/outputs/Youtube/ljspeech/wavs
    - output_folder: datasets/outputs/Youtube/ljspeech-aligned

- TTS:
  - output_folder: datasets/outputs/Youtube
  - preprocess:
    - preprocess: true
    - config: configs/TTS_preprocess.yaml # Default Config 
    - textgrid_folder: datasets/outputs/Youtube/ljspeech-aligned
    - output_duration_folder: datasets/outputs/Youtube/durations
    - sampling_rate: 44000 # Make sure sampling rate is same here as in preprocess config

需要YAML值的脚本:

yaml() {
    eval $(python pparse.py "$1")
}

yaml "test.yml"

# What python printed to bash:

folders_temp_folder=datasets/outputs/tmp
folders_keep_temp_folder=False
MFA_MFA=False
MFA_speaker_count=1
MFA_G2P_G2P=True
MFA_G2P_G2P_model=models/MFA/G2P/english_g2p.zip
MFA_G2P_input_folder=datasets/outputs/Youtube/ljspeech/wavs
MFA_G2P_output_dictionary=datasets/outputs/Youtube/ljspeech/dictionary.dict
MFA_dictionary=datasets/outputs/Youtube/ljspeech/dictionary.dict
MFA_acoustic_model=models/MFA/acoustic/english.zip
MFA_temp_folder=datasets/outputs/tmp
MFA_jobs=4
MFA_align_config=configs/MFA/align.yaml
MFA_align_dataset=datasets/outputs/Youtube/ljspeech/wavs
MFA_align_output_folder=datasets/outputs/Youtube/ljspeech-aligned
TTS_output_folder=datasets/outputs/Youtube
TTS_preprocess_preprocess=True
TTS_preprocess_config=configs/TTS_preprocess.yaml
TTS_preprocess_textgrid_folder=datasets/outputs/Youtube/ljspeech-aligned
TTS_preprocess_output_duration_folder=datasets/outputs/Youtube/durations
TTS_preprocess_sampling_rate=44000

使用bash访问变量:

echo "$TTS_preprocess_sampling_rate";
>>> 44000

可以将一个小脚本传递给一些解释器，比如Python。使用Ruby和它的YAML库的简单方法如下:

$ RUBY_SCRIPT="data = YAML::load(STDIN.read); puts data['a']; puts data['b']"
$ echo -e '---\na: 1234\nb: 4321' | ruby -ryaml -e "$RUBY_SCRIPT"
1234
4321

，其中data是来自yaml的值的散列(或数组)。

作为奖励，它可以很好地解析杰基尔的正面问题。

ruby -ryaml -e "puts YAML::load(open(ARGV.first).read)['tags']" example.md

以下是Stefan Farestam回答的扩展版本:

function parse_yaml {
   local prefix=$2
   local s='[[:space:]]*' w='[a-zA-Z0-9_]*' fs=$(echo @|tr @ '\034')
   sed -ne "s|,$s\]$s\$|]|" \
        -e ":1;s|^\($s\)\($w\)$s:$s\[$s\(.*\)$s,$s\(.*\)$s\]|\1\2: [\3]\n\1  - \4|;t1" \
        -e "s|^\($s\)\($w\)$s:$s\[$s\(.*\)$s\]|\1\2:\n\1  - \3|;p" $1 | \
   sed -ne "s|,$s}$s\$|}|" \
        -e ":1;s|^\($s\)-$s{$s\(.*\)$s,$s\($w\)$s:$s\(.*\)$s}|\1- {\2}\n\1  \3: \4|;t1" \
        -e    "s|^\($s\)-$s{$s\(.*\)$s}|\1-\n\1  \2|;p" | \
   sed -ne "s|^\($s\):|\1|" \
        -e "s|^\($s\)-$s[\"']\(.*\)[\"']$s\$|\1$fs$fs\2|p" \
        -e "s|^\($s\)-$s\(.*\)$s\$|\1$fs$fs\2|p" \
        -e "s|^\($s\)\($w\)$s:$s[\"']\(.*\)[\"']$s\$|\1$fs\2$fs\3|p" \
        -e "s|^\($s\)\($w\)$s:$s\(.*\)$s\$|\1$fs\2$fs\3|p" | \
   awk -F$fs '{
      indent = length($1)/2;
      vname[indent] = $2;
      for (i in vname) {if (i > indent) {delete vname[i]; idx[i]=0}}
      if(length($2)== 0){  vname[indent]= ++idx[indent] };
      if (length($3) > 0) {
         vn=""; for (i=0; i<indent; i++) { vn=(vn)(vname[i])("_")}
         printf("%s%s%s=\"%s\"\n", "'$prefix'",vn, vname[indent], $3);
      }
   }'
}

该版本支持字典和列表的-符号和短符号。以下输入:

global:
  input:
    - "main.c"
    - "main.h"
  flags: [ "-O3", "-fpic" ]
  sample_input:
    -  { property1: value, property2: "value2" }
    -  { property1: "value3", property2: 'value 4' }

产生如下输出:

global_input_1="main.c"
global_input_2="main.h"
global_flags_1="-O3"
global_flags_2="-fpic"
global_sample_input_1_property1="value"
global_sample_input_1_property2="value2"
global_sample_input_2_property1="value3"
global_sample_input_2_property2="value 4"

as you can see the - items automatically get numbered in order to obtain different variable names for each item. In bash there are no multidimensional arrays, so this is one way to work around. Multiple levels are supported. To work around the problem with trailing white spaces mentioned by @briceburg one should enclose the values in single or double quotes. However, there are still some limitations: Expansion of the dictionaries and lists can produce wrong results when values contain commas. Also, more complex structures like values spanning multiple lines (like ssh-keys) are not (yet) supported.

A few words about the code: The first sed command expands the short form of dictionaries { key: value, ...} to regular and converts them to more simple yaml style. The second sed call does the same for the short notation of lists and converts [ entry, ... ] to an itemized list with the - notation. The third sed call is the original one that handled normal dictionaries, now with the addition to handle lists with - and indentations. The awk part introduces an index for each indentation level and increases it when the variable name is empty (i.e. when processing a list). The current value of the counters are used instead of the empty vname. When going up one level, the counters are zeroed.

编辑:我已经为此创建了一个github存储库。

下面是一个bash-only解析器，利用sed和awk来解析简单的yaml文件:

function parse_yaml {
   local prefix=$2
   local s='[[:space:]]*' w='[a-zA-Z0-9_]*' fs=$(echo @|tr @ '\034')
   sed -ne "s|^\($s\):|\1|" \
        -e "s|^\($s\)\($w\)$s:$s[\"']\(.*\)[\"']$s\$|\1$fs\2$fs\3|p" \
        -e "s|^\($s\)\($w\)$s:$s\(.*\)$s\$|\1$fs\2$fs\3|p"  $1 |
   awk -F$fs '{
      indent = length($1)/2;
      vname[indent] = $2;
      for (i in vname) {if (i > indent) {delete vname[i]}}
      if (length($3) > 0) {
         vn=""; for (i=0; i<indent; i++) {vn=(vn)(vname[i])("_")}
         printf("%s%s%s=\"%s\"\n", "'$prefix'",vn, $2, $3);
      }
   }'
}

它可以理解以下文件:

## global definitions
global:
  debug: yes
  verbose: no
  debugging:
    detailed: no
    header: "debugging started"

## output
output:
   file: "yes"

在解析时使用:

parse_yaml sample.yml

将输出:

global_debug="yes"
global_verbose="no"
global_debugging_detailed="no"
global_debugging_header="debugging started"
output_file="yes"

它也理解由ruby生成的yaml文件，其中可能包含ruby符号，例如:

---
:global:
  :debug: 'yes'
  :verbose: 'no'
  :debugging:
    :detailed: 'no'
    :header: debugging started
  :output: 'yes'

并将输出与前一个示例相同的结果。

脚本中的典型用法是:

eval $(parse_yaml sample.yml)

Parse_yaml接受一个前缀参数，这样导入的所有设置都有一个公共前缀(这将减少名称空间冲突的风险)。

parse_yaml sample.yml "CONF_"

收益率:

CONF_global_debug="yes"
CONF_global_verbose="no"
CONF_global_debugging_detailed="no"
CONF_global_debugging_header="debugging started"
CONF_output_file="yes"

注意，之前文件中的设置可以被后面的设置引用:

## global definitions
global:
  debug: yes
  verbose: no
  debugging:
    detailed: no
    header: "debugging started"

## output
output:
   debug: $global_debug

另一个很好的用法是先解析默认文件，然后解析用户设置，这是可行的，因为后一个设置会覆盖第一个设置:

eval $(parse_yaml defaults.yml)
eval $(parse_yaml project.yml)

我的用例可能与这篇原始文章所要求的完全相同，也可能不完全相同，但它肯定是相似的。

我需要拉一些YAML作为bash变量。YAML的深度永远不会超过一层。

YAML看起来是这样的:

KEY:                value
ANOTHER_KEY:        another_value
OH_MY_SO_MANY_KEYS: yet_another_value
LAST_KEY:           last_value

输出如下:

KEY="value"
ANOTHER_KEY="another_value"
OH_MY_SO_MANY_KEYS="yet_another_value"
LAST_KEY="last_value"

我用这一行实现了输出:

sed -e 's/:[^:\/\/]/="/g;s/$/"/g;s/ *=/=/g' file.yaml > file.sh

s/:[^:\/\/]/="/g查找:并将其替换为="，同时忽略://(对于url) S /$/"/g将"附加到每一行的末尾 S / *=/=/g删除=前面的所有空格

yq是一个轻量级、可移植的命令行YAML处理器

这个项目的目标是yaml文件的jq或sed。

(https://github.com/mikefarah/yq #自述)

作为示例(直接从文档中窃取)，给出一个示例。Yaml文件:

---
bob:
  item1:
    cats: bananas
  item2:
    cats: apples

then

yq eval '.bob.*.cats' sample.yaml

将输出

- bananas
- apples
