Thanks. That's a good start. I have tried it, and it works. But yes, it looks 
ugly :-)

I am trying to put this idea in a working bash or python script now.
I am not really a virtuoso with grep and regular expressions, but I guess I 
could use that to extract the stringvalue after the "id": field from the 
response I am getting from the first line

{"stdout":"","stderr":"Processing `input.ly'\nParsing...\ninput.ly:1: warning:

I am sure one of you reading this wants to take the challenge to construct a 
regex to use with grep that will return the id, in this example that should be 
"1490078842785-3632-246681695-lnytb2x5437hkt9" without the quotes?
