I wish to match all lines that begin with SSLFile or <whitespace>SSLFile in
a file httpd.conf on a remote server and store the matched found strings in
a variable for use later in the playbook.
Below is what i did.
- name: Find entries
shell: "cat /tmp/httpd.conf"
register: filecontent
- name: Debug filecontentvar
debug:
msg: "{{ filecontent }}"
- name: Find certificate entries
set_fact:
target: "{{ filecontent.stdout | regex_replace('\\sSSLFile.*,
'\\1') }}"
Using debug verbose I was able to confirm that the filecontent variable
gets the contents of the httpd.conf file of the remote host.
However, the variable called "target" does not get matched lines for
searched string despite it being present and errors as below:

I used https://regex101.com to confirm that my \sSSLFile.* condition is
good and returns matches on my httpd.conf file.
Can you please suggest ?
