I get syntax error due to the awk command as below.

We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they
start a value. For instance:
Can you please suggest how can I incorporate such a awk in ansible
shell
module ?
As the error message say you have a missing quote.
So lets start on the first qoute and that is the double quote in front
of ls.
And if you them look at every other quotes you'll see that it's not
closed anywhere.
Since you don't need a quote at the start of the shell command anyway
just remove it.
