Hi Racke,
Giving below syntax worked as you said!!!! My deepest gratitude to you
for solving this nerve wracking issue!
* "{{ show_space.stdout[0] | regex_findall('\\d+') | last }}"*
This made me wonder about some thing else - as i understand, 'stdout' means
that it quotes the output of variable and '[0]' means referencing the first
char or command. So how does adding .stdout[0] make all the difference?
Also i saw several in ansible documentation with ('\\d+') but it was never
really explained what this meant (though i understand now). Should i read
python to understand these parameters?
Once again, many thanks Racke. You have been consistently helping with so
many of my queries!
Vikram
