Simple use of PlistBuddy

Since PlistBuddy is not in Mac's default Path, we need to reference this tool through the absolute Path:

• View help

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy --help

Let's take a look at PlistBuddy's simple print:

• Initializes an info. plist file.

Initialize info. plist

• Print the info. plist File

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "print" info.plist

• Enter the preceding command on the terminal as follows:

Add

• Add common fields:

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Add :Version string 1.0' info.plist

• Add an array field in two steps. Note:Keys are separated by: And no space is allowed.:

# First Add the key value/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy-c 'add: Application array 'info. plist # Add value yans67deMacBook-Pro: needfiles huangyg $/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy-c 'add: Application: string app1' info. plistyans67deMacBook-Pro: needfiles huangyg $/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy-c 'add: Application: string app2' info. plistyans67deMacBook-Pro: needfiles huangyg $/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy-c 'add: Application: string app3' info. plist

• Add a dictionary field in two steps:

# First Add the key value/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy-c 'add: Person dict 'info. plist # Add value,/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy-c 'add: Age string secret 'info. plist/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy-c 'add: Person: Name string yans67 'info. plist/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy-c 'add: Person: sex string boy 'info. plist/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy-c 'add: Person: weight string 65'info. plist

Output

• Print the corresponding field value:

 /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print :Person' info.plist

• In array, we can also print a specific value according to the subscript.

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print :Application:2' info.plist

Delete

• Delete the corresponding field value:

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Delete :Version' info.plist

Modify

• Modify the value of a field:

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Set :Application:1 string "thi is app1"' info.plist

Merge

• When there are two plist files, we can merge them.

# Merge A. plist into B. plist/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy-c 'merge A. plist' B. plist

The terminal will prompt that B. plist has duplicate key values, so the merge of this key value is skipped by default.
