I have a list that looks like this:
[(u'Element1', u'Description1', u'Status1), (u'newElement2', u'newDescription2', u'newStatus2), (u'nextElement3', u'nextDescription3', u'nextStatus3), (u'anotherElement4', u'anotherDescription4', u'anotherStatus4)]
I have an ansible playbook that uses a jinja2 template to render the list to a text file. The template file looks like this:
{% for item in description | batch(3, ' ') %}
{% for el in item %}
{{ el }}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
But this returns the text file to look like this:
[u'Element1', u'Description1', u'Status1]
[u'newElement2', u'newDescription2', u'newStatus2]
[u'nextElement3', u'nextDescription3', u'nextStatus3]
[u'anotherElement4', u'anotherDescription4', u'anotherStatus4]
What I want the report to look like is this:
Element1 Description1 Status1
newElement2 nextDescription2 newStatus2
nextElement3 nextDescription3 nextStatus3
anotherElement4 anotherDescription4 anotherDescription4
Is there a way to remove the unicode characters and render the lists this way?
You could try
{% for el in item %}
{% for e in el %}
{{ e }}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
Or use html tables if you want to be able to change formatting
For example:
{% for row in description %}
{% for cell in row %}
{{ "%-22s"|format(cell) }}
{%- endfor %}
{% endfor %}
Yields:
Element1 Description1 Status1
newElement2 newDescription2 newStatus2
nextElement3 nextDescription3 nextStatus3
anotherElement4 anotherDescription4 anotherStatus4
But to get a dynamic padding - depending on a max length of an element in a column - looks like a much more complex task: {{ "%-22s"|format(cell) }}
can be replaced with {{ "{0}".format(cell).ljust(width) }}
where width
can be a variable, but likely it would require another loop first to collect the lengths.
