So ansible detects changes on a file by doing checksums, so format does not matter. Ansible does not edit files (with the exceptions i noted above), but it can overwrite a file with a newer copy (it does not need to open Excel to overwrite a spreadsheet).
As for making changes to the files, Ansible is a batch system, not designed for interactive applications, so if you need to open Autocad to manually make a change, that is something you need to do manually. If on the other hand you want to run against an applications API a set of programmatic changes, then yes use Ansible, still it really does nothing itself to detect file type, it normally does not care. -- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
