Hi, I am fairly new to Ansible, so would appreciate some help.
I am trying to look in a .csv or .txt file. I need to email it when the
entry '0 rows' does not appear. Basically the file has been produced by a
software vendor, and a result of '0 rows' confirms no errors. Any other
result would mean there are errors.
I have tried the following code, after not having much success with
'lineinfile'. However, the play emails me whether it has found the text or
not. I did try a debug argument on it to view the output and noted that
'json' was full off characters similar to:
"presence.stdout": "ÿþJ\u0000o\u0000b\u0000
\u0000'\u0000P\u0000a\u0000u\u0000s\u0000e\u0000 \u0000a\u0000n\u0000d\u0000
However, the 'standard out' does contain the information I require:
(0 rows(s) affected)
Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks.
