>From the below output, i need to extract only the IP 10.1.1.10 (it is ok if the entire line starting from asterix is extracted).
I wrote below script and it seemed to work when i tested in regex101.com but failing when i used it in playbook. What am i doing wrong? How can it be improved? *SWITCH COMMAND:* CORE-SWITCH#sh ip route 0.0.0.0 Routing entry for 0.0.0.0/0, supernet Known via "static", distance 1, metric 0, candidate default path Redistributing via eigrp 500 Advertised by eigrp 500 Routing Descriptor Blocks: * 10.1.1.10 Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1 *SCRIPT:* tasks: - name: GATHER DEFAULT ROUTE INFO ios_command: commands: "show ip route 0.0.0.0" register: default_route - debug: msg: "{{ default_route.stdout[0] | regex_findall('(.*)') }}" *OUTPUT:* ERROR! We were unable to read either as JSON nor YAML, these are the errors we got from each: JSON: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) Syntax Error while loading YAML. found unknown escape character The error appears to be in '/root/sample12.yaml': line 19, column 59, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. The offending line appears to be: - debug: msg: "{{ default_route.stdout[0] | regex_findall('\* (.*)') }}" ^ here We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they start a value. For instance: with_items: - {{ foo }} Should be written as: with_items: - "{{ foo }}" Thanks, Vikram -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
