使用 jq 提取数组中的部分字符串元素

Question

I'm trying to extract part of the string in elements of an array, and create a new array with these extractions.

[
  "local/binaries/app-2.21.0.tar.gz",
  "local/binaries/app-2.20.0.tar.gz",
  "local/binaries/app-2.19.1.tar.gz",
  "local/binaries/app-2.19.0.tar.gz",
  "local/binaries/app-2.18.0.tar.gz"
]

Desired output

[
  "app-2.21.0",
  "app-2.20.0",
  "app-2.19.1",
  "app-2.19.0",
  "app-2.18.0"
]

You can use jq's capture function with regular expressions.

jq '[.[] | capture("(?<captured>app-[0-9]+\\.[0-9]+\\.[0-9]+)") | .[]]'

Try it out on jq playground .
