Hi,
I found the solution after a little research
\n is the ASCII symbol for new line. Ansible was catching the raw output
the router was sending over the wire to the terminal emulator software, and
for some reason it was getting “\\n” rather than “\n”. So below config
saves output in proper format.
copy: content="{{ print_output.stdout | *replace('\\n', '\n') }*}"
dest="./output/router1.txt"
Thanks for trying to help me.
