Try to customize output with jq with string concatenation-CodePudding

I'd like the output of this command to be on a single line :

$ lscpu -J | jq -r '.lscpu[] | select(.field=="CPU(s):").data   " x ", select(.field=="Model name:").data' 
4 x 
AMD A4-6210 APU with AMD Radeon R3 Graphics

So I tried this but it outputs ... nothing :

$ lscpu -J | jq -r '.lscpu[] | select(.field=="CPU(s):").data   " x "   select(.field=="Model name:").data'

CodePudding user response：

You can keep the two items in a list, then join them together :

lscpu -J | jq -r '.lscpu |
                  map(select(.field |
                             IN("CPU(s):","Model name:")
                            ).data
                     ) |
                  join(" x ")'
