Hi everyone,
I've tried to using a variable in find module by pattern by it doesn't seems to
work. Here's below a example. I also looked at another solution with set_facts
but I doesn't run too.
I want to list all the backup files in a directory. The files have a timestamp
and it's filename will be defined by variable.
Does anyone have an idea how should I proceed? or in which way?
Thanks in advance for your help
Here's the variables:
---
file:
- filename: backup
state: present
[...]
Here's the task:
---
[...]
find:
paths: /tmp
recurse: false
file_type_ file
patterns: '^{{ item.filename }}\.[0-9]{6}.*$'
use_regex: yes
loop: {{ file }}
Hello, you need to quote the argument for the loop:
loop: '{{ file }}'
Regards
Racke
