HI,
I need to do a grep-like search in a file without using shell commands and
in a check_mode compatible way.
I just need to check the presence of a given string a in a file without
doing overwrites of any kind.
I implemented something with lineinfile but I'm very annoyed by the need
to specify the line parameter to overwrite the file
because the r.e. may be wrong.
Is there any cleaner way to do what I need?
- name: grub
become: true
lineinfile:
path: /etc/myfile
backrefs: yes
regexp: "^CMDLINE (.*)"
line: 'CMDLINE \1'
state: present
register: myxx
Thanks.
