The goal is to compare 2 files. The content of a file with a template file.
First I'm trying to get the content of file then the template file and at
the end I'll do the comparaison.
So, here's the result of my cat command:
[...]
"stdout_lines": [
"# Ansible managed",
"",
"- agents:",
" - \"aaa\““,
" - \“bbb\““,
" community:",
" \"#from\": \“/etc/xyz\““,
" disableDimensions: true",
" Dimensions:",
" HostGroup: \“abc\““,
" Type: \“role\““,
" environment: \“TEST\““,
" fields:",
" - conversion: \“intg\““,
" name: \"UCD-SNMP-MIB\"",
" oid: \“.1.3…\““,
[…]
]
And here the template file:
[...]
"daten_content": [
{
"agents": [
"aaa",
"bbb"
],
"community": {
“\“#from\": \“/etc/xyz\“
},
"disableDimensions": true,
"Dimensions": {
"HostGroup": "abc",
"Type": "role",
"env": "TEST"
},
"fields": [
{
"conv": „int“,
"name": "UCD-SNMP-MIB",
"oid": „.1.3…“
},
[…]
]
I need to have the same format file to compare them. I've try many way with
output of cat command but I don't find the right way and perhaps the's an
easiest way??
Is it really better with slurp module?
