A couple of things. First,
comp_file: /logs/{{ exec_date }}/{{ inventory_hostname }}-compare-{{{
exec_date }}.txt
has three left braces on "exec_date".
Second, mustaches (i.e. "{{" … "}}") never nest. So
copy content="{{ compare_out.stdout }}" dest="{{ vars[ {{
comp_file }} ] }}"
should be
copy content="{{ compare_out.stdout }}" dest="{{ vars[ comp_file ] }}"
Well, at least that's "dest=" without nested mustaches. Whether it's
right or not I don't know, but it's less wrong this way.

Hi,
I am trying to copy the contents from a register output to a file
in the local server.
However , I have challenges in re-calling the variable filename in the
copy command.
Correct me what I am missing. in dest="{{ vars[ {{ comp_file }} ] }}"
or "{{ compare_out.stdout }}" in the last lines ..
[vee@server]$ grep comp_file vars/postcheck_vars.yml
comp_file: /logs/{{ exec_date }}/{{ inventory_hostname }}-compare-{{{
exec_date }}.txt
[vee@server]$ cat compare_sanity.yml

ignore_errors: yes
no_log: True
- name: create output file
