Good day, I'm utilizing slurp to pull an XML file from a remote Windows host to lookup some values. In the file there are a couple of Windows paths that when grabbed via regex_search are returned with various escape sequences. For example, \a becomes \u0007.
Any ideas how I can resolve the below? I cannot install anything on the remote host, and I cannot pull files locally. This rules out using any of the XML modules. Example for clarity: file.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ClusterParameters xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> ... <SharedPath>\\somewhere.com\adata\aclusters\bytes</SharedPath> ... </ClusterParameters> Task: - name: Create dictionary of values from test.xml ansible.builtin.set_fact: file_xml_data: '{{ file_xml_data | default({}) | combine({item.key: item.value}) }}' loop: ... - "{ 'key': 'cifs_share', 'value': '{{ file_xml | regex_search('<SharedPath>(.+)</', '\\1') | first }}' }" ... Appreciate any ideas you may have. Thank you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
