Hello Morrissey,
You may use the below playbook to fulfill your requirements. It makes use
of lineinfile module with regular expression to capture the line to be
modified.
---
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: "insert values to a list"
lineinfile:
dest: /opt/test.txt
regexp: '(^ALL.*$)'
line: '\1, {{item}}'
backrefs: yes
with_items:
- 1.1.1.1/255.255.255.255
- 2.2.2.2/255.255.255.255
The file would be modified as shown below:
Hello world !
ALL, 1.1.1.1/255.255.255.255, 2.2.2.2/255.255.255.255
This is a test file
Hope this is helpful !
Thanks,
Shivharsh
