  • ...rest: Additional cell paths.

Examples

╰───┴────╯

Extract the name of the 3rd record in a list (same as ls | $in.name)

> ls | get name.2

Extract the name of the 3rd record in a list

Getting Path/PATH in a case insensitive way

> $env | get paTH

Getting Path in a case sensitive way, won't work for 'PATH'

> $env | get --sensitive Path

Notes

This is equivalent to using the cell path access syntax: $env.OS is the same as $env | get OS.

If multiple cell paths are given, this will produce a list of values.
