splitting the output of {{ ansible_play_name }}

[dulh...@mailbox.org]

I have a tasks that writes information gathered from remotes to a csv file on localhost

 

 

====================================================================

- name: write result to output.csv
  delegate_to: localhost
  lineinfile:
    dest: "./temp/{{ ansible_play_name }}.csv"
    line: >
    {{ ansible_fqdn }};{{ ansible_eth0.ipv4.address }};{{ ansible_distribution }} {{ ansible_distribution_version }};{{ ansible_play_name }};{{ pg_encoding.stdout }}
    insertafter: EOF

 

====================================================================

 

 

now ... the ansible_play_name is i.e. POSTGRES_get_utf8.

How can I only get POSTGRES to be written out to the csv. I guess 'split' being part of the solution, but how exactly?

Try this

{{ ansible_play_name|split('_')|first }}

thanks. I guess that is pretty much the same thing as ...

{{ ansible_play_name.split('_')[0] }}

... (which I figured out in the meantime).
