result.stdout_lines is a list that contains lists So you have result.stdout_lines.0.0 the first line, result.stdout_lines.0.1 the second one and so on. You can do with_items: '{{ result.stdout_lines.0 }}' to get what you are after. -- Kai Stian Olstad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
