Thanks Matt, inventory_hostname.endswith did the job perfectly. Out of
interest is there a way of performing an AND in the hosts declaration i.e
member of webservers group AND hostname ends in 01. This would prevent
unnecessarily gathering facts on servers that we arent interested in. The
documentation for patterns seems to suggest that you can perform OR but no
mention of AND. Apologies for the basic questions, I'm currently reading up
on this stuff! Thanks
