I am trying to remove double quotes from a string using this command but the sed always adds the quotes, not sure what's wrong with this.

value = ["some_json_object"]

json string passing in as new_value:

"{\"new_name\":\"foo\",\"value\":\"bar\"}"

sed -i -e "s/some_json_object/jsondecode($new_value)/"

output:

["jsondecode({"new_name":"foo","value":"bar"})"]

expected_output:

[jsondecode({"new_name":"foo","value":"bar"})]

CodePudding user response：

sed didn't add the quotes, they're in the original file and you don't remove them. Include them in the pattern you're replacing.

sed -i -e "s/\"some_json_object\"/jsondecode($new_value)/"
