Try this
- replace:
path: 'playbook.yml'
regexp: '{{ regex }}'
replace: '{{ replace }}'
vars:
regex: '\[monitor\://D\:\\Logs\\Org\.SNP\.Publisher\\\*]'
replace: '[monitor://D:\\new\\path\\dir\\*]'
1) Put *regex* and *replace* into separate variables and use "7.3.2.
Single-Quoted Style".
Quoting: '...the “\” and “"” characters may be freely used. This restricts
single-quoted scalars to printable characters ...'
https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2788097
2) In *regex* escape Python regular expressions special characters only
https://pythex.org/
3) In *replace* escape control characters only
