ok, here it is..... should be \\1 vs \1 in your replacement and test(is) on
string contents(in)
- name: task 3
debug:
msg: "{{ item }} is in the s"
loop: "{{ t_list }}"
when: ( item | regex_replace("^p(\d+).*$", "\\1") ) is in s
- name: task 3.orig
debug:
msg: "{{ item }} is in s"
loop: "{{ t_list }}"
when: ( item | regex_replace("^p(\d+).*$", "\1") ) in s
TASK [task 3]
****************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=p1_xyz) => {

}
ok: [localhost] => (item=p2_xyz) => {

}
TASK [task 3.orig]
***********************************************************************************************
skipping: [localhost] => (item=p1_xyz)
skipping: [localhost] => (item=p2_xyz)

PLAY RECAP
