[ansible-project] Re: List of list and variables
Not really what it is you are trying to achieve, but perhaps you can have a
simple structure and use filters to fetch the parts of the full path that
you need.
Something like this:
---
- name: Demonstrate splitting paths
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
vars:
my_files:
- /data/ansible/testing1/test.reg
- /data/ansible/testing1/test.lst
tasks:
- name: get directory
debug: msg={{item | dirname }}
with_items: my_files
- name: get basename
debug: msg={{item | basename }}
with_items: my_files
- name: get extention before v2
debug: msg={{item.split('.')[1] }}
with_items: my_files
Hope this helps
Jon

[ansible-project] Re: List of list and variables
thank you for all your replies. i changed the way i am organizing my file.
now i do:
my_files:
- {path: '/data/ansible/testing1', name: 'test1.reg', ext: '.reg'}
- {path: '/data/ansible/testing1', name: 'test1.lst', ext: '.lst'}
so it is less readable but easier to access to a variable (item.path,
item.name, ...).

[ansible-project] Re: List of list and variables
That's a complicated structure, and you seem to be storing some redundant
information.
Just wondering if you can simplify the structure and use filters to derive
the ext from the name
See
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_filters.html#other-useful-filters
- there's a splitext filter which looks appropriate.
Hope that helps,
Jon
