Hi,
I need to replace a dot in a string with a "\!". I am using "regex_replace"
but am unable to get the regex to print a single backslash.
I have tried escaping it using double-backslash but that gives me 2
backslashes in the output. Interestingly escaping using 4 backslashes also
gives 2 backslashes in the output - so could this be a bug?
Ansible version is 2.2.1.0

- name: install MQ 8
hosts: 192.168.90.84
vars:
qmgr: PAAA.QMGR
tasks:
- debug:
msg: "{{ ini }}"
vars:
ini: "{{ qmgr | regex_replace('[.]','\\!') }}"
Here is the output:
TASK [debug]
*******************************************************************
ok: [192.168.90.84] => {
"msg": "PAAA\\!QMGR"
}
Thanks
