It may be anywhere from 1-5 possibly.
This isn't easy with Ansible modules so that's probably why you haven't gotten an answer. I probably wont give you one either. To get different values you need multiple runs over the file. When you run the fist one it will change all the lines, the same will happened on the second run but with different value but same value on each line. To do this you would need a way to know which line you already changed and then avoid them. The best thing in this circumstances is to let Ansible create the file with the template module. Or use some external script like perl, awk, sed or python. -- Kai Stian Olstad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
