@kayomarz I think that might be a setting on your side - I don't need --output=json.

@l0b0 Yes, my aws CLI is configured with output = table (aws CLI output is no longer json) and this script results in parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 2, column 0.

Using --output=json mentioned above can be used to fix the error.

you can use jq -r flag to remove quotation chars " from query results instead of sed btw

for some bizarre reason, this line does not work for me:
version_id="$(jq --raw-output ".[${index}].VersionId" <<< "$1")"
