hostvars requires a string that is a host name: hostvars['<hostname>'] , if the 'windows' is a hostname you can do hostvars['windows']['varname'] .. if it is a group , you cannot do this, you need to use a specific hostname.
But if you just want any host in the group you can do : hostvars[groups['windows'][0]]['value_to_reuse']['stdout_lines'] Also note that if you don't quote something it will be interpreted as a variable that contains the name, not the variable name you want (list indecies are an exception as they are just numbers). -- ---------- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
