I am trying to do a select statement and I am having issues passing in a variable. My code pattern is shown below :

sD=$(hostname)
echo $sD #prints TEST

select (.name=="$sD") # this line isnt working. When i do

select (.name=="TEST") # it works properly

Add a shebang and then paste your script there: http://www.shellcheck.net/ – Cyrus Jun 29 '18 at 04:21

Was this intended as a `jq` question or something? – that other guy Jun 29 '18 at 05:00
Yes A field unique to my system in a variable then comparing it to jq results – user2172430 Jun 29 '18 at 11:05
