To do so generically might be beyond even bash variables. But you could always smash the paths, just might have to have counters for multiple contructs at a level... so you might have

Code:
latest_0_snapsthot='1.7.2'
latest_0_release='1.7.2'

Might not be horrible writing something in awk or sed to produce this type of output so it can be sourced into a program. Due to the counters, awk is the better candidate.

In your case, it could be very simple if you are just needing the one thing though. Just pull the line out, and do a simple translate.

(I guess I'm trying to push you toward a solution without handing one to you)

NAME
Test::JSON - Test JSON data VERSION
Version 0.11 SYNOPSIS
use Test::JSON; is_valid_json $json, '... json is well formed'; is_json $json, $expected_json, '... and it matches what we expected'; EXPORT
o is_valid_json o is_json DESCRIPTION
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a lightweight data interchange format. Test::JSON makes it easy to verify that you have built valid JSON and that it matches your expected output. See <http://www.json.org/> for more information. TESTS
is_valid_json is_valid_json $json, '... json is well formed'; Test passes if the string passed is valid JSON. is_json is_json $json, $expected_json, '... and it matches what we expected'; Test passes if the two JSON strings are valid JSON and evaluate to the same data structure. Test::Differences is used to provide easy diagnostics of why the JSON structures did not match. For example: Failed test '... and identical JSON should match' in t/10testjson.t at line 14. +----+---------------------------+---------------------------+ | Elt|Got |Expected | +----+---------------------------+---------------------------+ | 0|{ |{ | | 1| bool => '1', | bool => '1', | | 2| description => bless( { | description => bless( { | | 3| value => undef | value => undef | | 4| }, 'JSON::NotString' ), | }, 'JSON::NotString' ), | | 5| id => '1', | id => '1', | * 6| name => 'foo' | name => 'fo' * | 7|} |} | +----+---------------------------+---------------------------+ AUTHOR
