Jordan,
The solutions you've provided worked out fine. I ended up using *win_shell*
module simply because I was not able to pass *%computername%* variable in
win_find patterns. I'm a beginner and ready to tackle regex :-)
I really appreciate your help. Also, by any chance the values in
results.stdout_lines can be used in combication with the archive module to
tar the files in result?
Thanks in advance.
*- hosts: all gather_facts: yes tasks: - win_shell: dir /b
C:\Temp\*%computername%* args: executable: cmd register:
results - debug: var: results.stdout_lines - name: get the
files fetch: src: "C:/Temp/{{ item }}" dest:
/home/vagrant/win-script-result/ flat: yes with_items: "{{
results.stdout_lines }}"*
