Using '---' as value gives an error

[ghost]

Hello,

With 1.13.3 I do a

echo '' | dasel put string -p yaml 'extraEnv.[0].name' 'KEYCLOAK_STATISTICS' |
dasel put string -p yaml 'extraEnv.[0].value' 'ALL' |
dasel put string -p yaml 'extraEnv.[1].name' 'KEYCLOAK_USER' |
dasel put string -p yaml 'extraEnv.[1].value' 'admin' |
dasel put string -p yaml 'extraEnv.[2].name' 'KEYCLOAK_PASSWORD' |
dasel put string -p yaml 'extraEnv.[2].value' '---keycloak-password---'

which gives a 'Error: bad flag syntax: ---keycloak-password---'.

Is there anyway I can start a string with '---' ?

Thanks.

I've found that you're facing this issue because of the flag parser being used: https://github.com/spf13/pflag/blob/85dd5c8bc61cfa382fecd072378089d4e856579d/flag.go#L962

I can look into a workaround/fix for this but since it's outside of my control I can suggest an alternative approach using put document for the meantime:

echo 'extraEnv:
- name: KEYCLOAK_STATISTICS
  value: ALL
- name: KEYCLOAK_USER
  value: admin' | ./dasel put document -p yaml 'extraEnv.[2]' -d yaml '
name: KEYCLOAK_PASSWORD
password: ---keycloak-password---
'

Ok, thanks, this will do
