That is close but not quite what I am looking for. I oversimplified my
description of the problem. I should have said "I need to select one or
more of those dictionaries with keys". So 'list' is a list of one or more
keys:
list:
- list1
- list2
And that is where this got complicated. The temptation is to do something
like this:
- debug: msg="var1={{STRUCTURE.{{item}}.val1}},
var2={{STRUCTURE.{{item}}.val2}}, var3={{STRUCTURE.{{item}}.val3}}"
with_items:
- "{{list}}"
Of course, I can't have nested braces, but your example gave me the clue I
needed to make this work. Following your lead I came up with this:
- debug: msg="var1={{STRUCTURE[item].0.val1}},
var2={{STRUCTURE[item].0.val2}}, var3={{STRUCTURE[item].0.val3}}"
with_items:
- "{{list}}"
And that got me what I needed!
Thanks for your help!
