Given the file ip_list.txt is on the controller, try
- set_fact:
ip_list: "{{ lookup('file', 'ip_list.txt').split('\n')|
map('from_yaml')|list }}"
should give
ip_list:
- [ipadd1, ipadd2, ipadd3, ipadd4]
- [ipadd5, ipadd6, ipadd7, ipadd8]
Select the items, e.g. the third item from the second list
- debug:
var: ip_list[1][2]
should give
ip_list[1][2]: ipadd7
