How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
\t\t? Are you adding this array to another JSON file? If so, it would be better to do that withjqdirectly rather than via somesedprocessing.\andt, or a literal tab character. Also, you seem to have accepted an answer, even though this generates output that is not like that in the question (the tabs are at the start of the line rather than at the start of each element). Since you mentioned "before each element" rather than "at the start of the line", I thought this was an important distinction to make.\,t,\,tor 2 literal tab characters inserted. Inserting\t\tis not the same as inserting 2 tab chars,\tis an escape sequence that some tools will use in output statements to generate tab chars but that doesn't mean\tis a tab char, and at no point do you say in your question that you want tab characters but instead show literal\ts in your expected output. If you're going to show that then at least say "those\ts are literal tab chars" or similar in your question.
