I want to list ONLY Filenames dev.xml and prd.xml that contain a word called 
“vob.fi.ted.com". Im able to list all filenames dev.xml and prd.xml using find 
module but when I use contains parameter in playbook it doesn’t return those 
files although they have the string in their contents.

 

- hosts: test

  gather_facts: false

  become: yes

  become_user: root

  tasks:

  - name: Ansible find files examples

    find:

      paths: /opt/common

      patterns: "dev.xml,prd.xml"

      contains: "vob.fi.ted.com"

      recurse: yes

    register: files_to_find

 

  - debug:

     msg: "{{ files_to_find.files }}"

 

I get empty for list of files matched like below output.

However when I remove the contains: "vob.fi.ted.com" parameter , I get the list 
of matched files. All the files have 777 permission also.

 

 

 

OUTPUT

 

ok: [xxx.ted.com] => {
