I've been trying to store the output of multiple az cli commands in a variable defined in my pipeline with 0 success.

At the end what im trying to achieve is to get the key value stored to use later: enter image description here

Any suggestions on how to do this in the Azure CLI task from Azure DevOps Pipeline?

PS: Have being trying some commands from shell and batch and must of the attempts failures are related to not recognizing commands(batch/shell) inside the script. Which is confusing since in Azure cli task Docs:

@4c74356b41 Answer helped a lot since I didn't know I could do query in azure cli commands to get a specific value of a command. But it didn't quite answer my questions. All that said, this link Set Output Variable in Azure CLI task on VSTS has the Answer to my question.

just use query path filtering, something like this:

--query 'properties.properties.sites[0].key' -o tsv

this should output only the key you are interested it. reading:

This was of much help, thanks. Help me narrow down to just that variable and not loop trough a json obj. Still I need to store it in a variable inside the azure cli task from azure DevOps any ideas on how to do this? I declared the variable but not able to assign it with "=". $var="$(az cli --query 'temp.temp.sites[0]....)
you can use save the output to variable feature, but I, sadly, never really used that, so I dont know how it works exactly, its the last option of the task step
