plistguy

plistguy is wrapper around PlistBuddy to support shell pipes as input so now you can write cat some.plist | plistguy -c "Print :0" and it works as you would expect.

Installation

Run this command:

[sudo] gem install plistguy

Usage

Tool should support same commands as PlistBuddy, but path to file is optional.

Examples:

plistguy -c "Print :CFBundleIdentifier" /Applications/Calculator.app/Contents/Info.plist

or 

plistguy -c "Print :CFBundleIdentifier" < /Applications/Calculator.app/Contents/Info.plist

or

cat /Applications/Calculator.app/Contents/Info.plist | plistguy -c "Print :CFBundleIdentifier"

Result is always looks like this: com.apple.calculator
