How to merge files in Windows.

[JavierLinaresCorporativo]

Hi,

I'm new in yq and after download yq_windows_amd64.zip I can't use 'm' flag like example: https://mikefarah.gitbook.io/yq/v/v2.x/merge

For example, I can update de file inplace with this command:
yq_windows_amd64 e -i m swagger.yaml

I can't use 'm' flag because throws error:
yq_windows_amd64 m swagger.yaml Error: 1:1: invalid input text "m"

¿What is the correct sintax for windows executable?

Thanks.

Oh, I've read 2.x doc and use 4.31.1 exe. I've downloaded v2 and use merge command instead. Sucess!

Glad it worked for you - however 2.0 is quite old and no longer supported. There will be security vulnerabilities in the compiler it was built with as well as the dependencies.

I highly recommend switching to 4.x and ensure you've got latest, most secure version. Merge is a little more complex (but more powerful) in v4 - it's documented here: https://mikefarah.gitbook.io/yq/operators/multiply-merge
