Mona, I don't think you need the regexp parameter, just set 'insertafter:
EOF' to get it to append at the end of the file. See for what works for me
in one of my scripts:
- name: add script exec to bashrc
lineinfile:
dest: /home/.bashrc
state: present
line: '. /home/.profile-custom'
insertafter: EOF
