I have this text
[john]
age=20
group=wheel
[doe]
age=30
group=wheel
[stack]
age=undefined
group=wheel
color=white
[overflow]
age=undefined
and i want to capture with first regex:
age=20
and group=wheel of [stack] with the second one
You're trying to use regex for a well defined text file format; the ini
lookup is what you are actually after:
# assuming the ini file is /tmp/foo.ini
tasks:
- set_fact:
john_age: '{{ lookup("ini", "age section=john file=/tmp/foo.ini") }}'
stack_group: '{{ lookup("ini", "group section=stack file=/tmp/foo.ini") }}'
then, in the case where your content isn't actually in a file, it seems the lookup only works with files so you'd need to temporarily write it out to a file:
tasks:
- copy:
dest: /tmp/foo.ini
content: '{{ the_ini_from_your_question_goes_here }}'
- set_fact:
john_age: '{{ lookup("ini", "age section=john file=/tmp/foo.ini") }}'
stack_group: '{{ lookup("ini", "group section=stack file=/tmp/foo.ini") }}'
- file:
path: /tmp/foo.ini
state: absent
