I don't know if I got your specification correctly
anyway this is an example
$ cat lineinfile.yml
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- name: lineinfile
lineinfile:
path: ./hosts
regexp: '^(.*) server\.corp\b(.*)$'
line: '\1 server.corp server.corp.company.com \2'
backrefs: yes
$ cat hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.192.168 server.corp
fusillator@catorcio:~/Code/ansible/test$ ansible-playbook lineinfile.yml
PLAY [localhost]
