how to use regex in copy or other module

[郭大瞎]

I need to copy files from managed node to control machines.

A machine's tomcat path : /usr/local/tomcat-aux

B machine's tomcat path : /usr/local/tomcat-hk

actually there is not only these two instance. 

so I've tried below methods, but failed. 

 name: copy file to tomcat path

 copy: src=/deploy/a.conf  dest=/usr/local/tomcat*/

Thanks in advance~

copy module doesn't support regexp, only a handful modules do, and if
they do it's documented in the individual module documentation.

You example you can written like this:

- name: Find tomcat directories
find:
paths=/usr/local
patterns=tomcat*
file_type=directory
register: result

- name: copy file to tomcat path
copy:
src=/deploy/a.conf
dest={{ item.path }}
with_items: result.files
