I wish to search for all entries of string starting with "SSLFile" or

to a variable and print all the matches found.
The string is found as evident from the output and the file is not modified
which is good; but I'm unable to print (debug) it. I get error as I try to
print. Below is my playbook:
- name: Find entries
lineinfile:
path: "/tmp/httpd.conf"
regexp: "\\sSSLFile.*"
state: absent
check_mode: yes
changed_when: false
register: filedet
- debug:
msg: "{{ filedet }}"
- debug:
msg: "{{ item.split()[1] }}"
with_items:
- "{{ filedet.stdout_lines }}"
Can you please suggest what is the correct way to print all the searched
matched strings without modifying the file ? I wish to use the the
registered variable to perform other actions later in the playbook.
Just use grep
- command: grep -P "^\s*SSLFILE" /tmp/httpd.conf
register: results
- debug: msg="{{ results.stdout }}"
- debug: msg="{{ item }}"
with_items: "{{ results.stdout_lines }}"
