Hi  Todd Lewis,

Thanks . I am able to understand it . However the split happens based on 
',' , and then we remove the quotes with  map('map', 'trim')) and align the 
lines with range.
However assuming split with delimiter as comma,  when i try to replace 1 
with 0  the output is  [msg: "{{ range(my_var | length) | map('extract', 
(my_var | map('split', ',') | map('map', 'trim')), [1]) }}"]
 
ok: [localhost] =>
  msg:
  - line1 has
  - line2 has
  - line3 has

and when tried to add [0 1] in the  end  [msg: "{{ range(my_var | length) | 
map('extract', (my_var | map('split', ',') | map('map', 'trim')), [0 1]) 
}}"]
it printsok: [localhost] =>
  msg:
  - i
  - i
  - i
that is second character in the word line[0]. Is not the split breaks the 
words  with (',')?
How to print all the available column? instead of 1( yes the full  file 
without a comma now )
Actually I am trying to print like below
 line1 has  color-red
line2 has color-blue  
line3 has, color-orange
