From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have a program that require all keywords to be in a single paragraph, most of the time, separated by commas

For example:

I have those terms

1-Term
1.1-Term
2-Term
3-Term
4-Term

That i collected and organized into groups and subgroups with Titles and subtitles

Title

1-Term
1.1-Term
2-Term
- Sub-Title
  - 3-Term
  - 4-Term

But then i want to turn them into:

1-Term, 1.1-Term, 2-Term, 3-Term, 4-Term

Removing certain marked words(Titles and sub-Titles), any Empty/Blank space, and Line breaks, while adding the commas between The Terms. I want to keep certain dashes "-"(like in words )

1-Term,1.1 -Term,2-Term,3-Term,4-Term

If you can stick to valid YAML like your example is, you can use a reasonably short yq command to get a comma-separated string of all scalar values:

$ yq -r '[.. | scalars] | join(",")' /tmp/foo.txt                
Harry potter,Perfect Blue,Jurassic world,Jurassic Park,Jedi,Star wars,The clone wars,MCU,Gumball,Flapjack,Steven Universe,Stars vs. the forces of Evil,Wordgril,Flapjack

.. goes down the tree recursively, scalars filters out only scalar values, [] around those two makes them an array, and piping it all to join(",") makes it into a comma-separated string.
