I'm using the jq tool to handle some JSON in bash. 
Just one problem, while using this line:

PB_ACL="acl="`echo $IMGREQ | jq -r'.data.acl'`

Result:

echo $PB_ACL // acl=

The expected value jq has to filter out is: "acl":"public-read" But it's not working now. I think it has to to with the dash (-) symbol.

How do I excapeescape such incoming string data?
