Hi,

I am trying to replace a  line/string   in a 224   lines file .
Trying with replace and lineinfile module  , but seems i am missing a bit..

below is the string to consider:

logging.files:
  # Configure the path where the logs are written. The default is the logs 
directory
  # under the home path (the binary location).
  path: /var/log/original
.
Here I want to replace the " /var/log/original"  to " /var/log/newfile"  
and I have to search based on the string "logging.files:"  which is 3 lines 
above.  



*- name: Configuring the inputs for the file    replace:    path: 
/etc/myagent/myfile*
*    after: 'logging.files:'    here  i want to search 4th  line below the 
match.. similar to grep -A3)*


*    regexp: ' path: /var/log/original '    replace: " path: 
/var/log/newfile  "*

* I have multiple lines with similar entries and I cannot replace directly 
(based on first match too)*
