Hi Dick Visser,
Thanks for your reply.
As per your suggestion I am trying to running the shell module first and
registering the output, now what should I do and how I used this register
values in replace module to get the required output.
- shell: 'awk "/^[[:space:]]*($|#)/{next} /$host_to_find/{print \$1 \"
\" }"'
register: extracted_data
For reference I am attaching the file which I am using for this playbook.

It is a known host file which I am using for my playbook.
Now, how do I pass this register value in replace module or how do I
replace the value in file with the new value.
Looking forward for your reply.

Sumit Sahay
