Passing values in a file

[Rakshatha shetty]

Hi,

I'm using Ansible 2.0.0.2 to create multiple directories by passing path to directories in a file and reading the values from file. How can multiple values be passed in a single file? Please revert with the format in which values (i.e. path to directories) should be passed in the file. 

Thanks & Regards,

Can you show an example of what you are trying to accomplish?

[Rakshatha shetty]

- name: Create directory structure

  hosts: newserver

  tasks:

    - name: Directory structure

      win_file: path="{{ item }}" state=directory

      with_file:

        - first_example_file

Above is the ansible script I'm using to create directory, path to the new directory is given in the file 'first_example_file'. How should we pass multiple values in the file (i.e. when we have to create multiple directories, what is the format of tje file?)

Thank you, with_lines module was very much helpful

With_lines module is working fine when I pass values for single parameter. How to pass values for multiple parameters in a single file?

For example:  win_file: path="{{ item }}" state="{{ item }}"

 

In the above example values for path and state should be passed. Is it possible to accomplish this using with_lines? Please help...
