Thanks for this
Based on your post , and in my case where the statement is spread over
multiples lines
I just found the following to work (tend to always forgot the yaml syntax
for multi-line )
which to me is even simpler (this is just me) as no even need to double
quote
lineinfile: >
dest=/etc/hosts.deny
state=present
regexp="^ALL:\s+ALL"
line="ALL: ALL"
