I want to grep name from package.json. My file looks like below. Name is in second line of the file.



 {
"name": "Proje",
"version": "1.0.0",


Output should be only Proje

  • Why grep specifically? there are much more robust ways of extracting elements from json e.g. jq -r '.name' package.json

  • This method is working. Thanks a lot. But I need a shell script. Is there a accurate way to do it by using shell commands? I used this command and It shows the required output.grep -ri "name" package.json |head -n 1 | cut -c 12-16
