In the previous section, the use of `signrawtransaction` offered an example of not being able to easily capture data into variables due to the use of JSON output:
```
$ bitcoin-cli signrawtransaction $rawtxhex
$ bitcoin-cli signrawtransactionwithwallet $rawtxhex
{

To capture a specific value from a JSON object, you just list the key after the `.`:

With that tool in hand, you can capture information from JSON objects to command-line variables:
```
$ signedtx=$(bitcoin-cli signrawtransaction $rawtxhex | jq -r '.hex')
$ signedtx=$(bitcoin-cli signrawtransactionwithwallet $rawtxhex | jq -r '.hex')
$ echo $signedtx
0200000001735dfa1584b930a78ad2c1d6db72dd2a80ae5e5d552ad97e19f1d50d41fdd6d8000000006a47304402202210ce4b2a037da02622c380278cd79fec4e0e016e66f3eb894a2dcbb9ee998f02202cac167e6abdbbf08af139fb7c6b86e9d2e58e5516cd566ae2d54953ead9923b012102111bb978a3c93a00038ae344a1a017d7fee8a9be9d0558b5793ce6f440704a96ffffffff01b0e78604000000001976a914e7c1345fc8f87c68170b3aa798a956c2fe6a9eff88ac00000000
```
You can then use those variables easily and without error:
```
$ bitcoin-cli sendrawtransaction $signedtx
$ bitcoin-cli sendrawtransactionwithwallet $signedtx
