body: <p>I'm using jq to parse a JSON file as shown <a href="http://xmodulo.com/how-to-parse-json-string-via-command-line-on-linux.html#comment-13001" rel="noreferrer">here</a>. However, the results for string values contain the "double-quotes" as expected, as shown below:</p>
  
  
  
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>$ cat json.txt | jq '.name'
  "Google"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I pipe this into another command to remove the ""? so I get</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>$ cat json.txt | jq '.name' | some_other_command
  Google
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What <code>some_other_command</code> can I use?</p>
