Using variable substitution with replace module and regex

[Biswajit]

Hi,

I have two register variable in a play and want to replace one with another in a play. 

_______________

 - name: Editing  the file 

      replace:

      dest=/some/path

      regexp=^"{{ result.stdout }}."

      replace="{{ result2.stdout }}."

      backup=yes

____________

I want to replace occurrences of {{result.stdout }} with {{result2.stdout}} in a file. How can I do that ?

The way your are doing it seems ok, except you are formating it wrong

either use this form:

- name: Editing the file
replace: dest=/some/path regexp=^"{{ result.stdout }}."
replace="{{ result2.stdout }}." backup=yes

or this one:

- name: Editing the file
replace:

dest: /some/path
regexp: ^"{{ result.stdout }}."
replace: "{{ result2.stdout }}."
backup: yes
