Yes, thanks I think that does help some. I think the part I'm missing
still is how to somehow pull in each file name one at a time. I know in
pseudo-code it's something like
for( one_filename in fileglob( vars/*.yml) {
- include_vars "{{ one_filename ))"
- debug: msg="{{ site_name }} on port {{ port }}"
}
I know you can't just do something like
- include_vars "{{ item }}"
with_fileglob:
- "vars/*.yml"
since that's going to just pull in the whole list immediately and print out
the results at the end.
