regexp is not working in window ansible

[Uppara venkat]

Hi all,

I would like add a line in particular line, I have written a task as below; 

---

- name: adding script line with package name
  win_lineinfile:
    dest: D:/Software/configurations/uCMDBProbeResponseFile.txt
    regexp: '^USER_INSTALL_DIR= '
    line: 'USER_INSTALL_DIR= F:\\UCMDB\\UCMDBServer'
    state: present
  

But it will add the line in end of the file.

 " regexp" is not working  it's not able to find the line.

Could you please help me  how to fix this issue.

    

Thanks& Regards,
Venkat

Hello Venkat,

which line do you have in the file that is supposed to match your regular expression?

What's the *exact line* in your file. You are trying to match on '^USER_INSTALL_DIR= ', so the equal sign *and* the
white space are significant. I would remove the white space from your regular expression as I don't think it has to
be present.

[Uppara venkat]

the exact line is "USER_INSTALL_DIR= E:\\UCMDB\\DataFlowProbe" I wanted to change as like"USER_INSTALL_DIR= F:\\UCMDB\\UCMDBServer"

There is no white space. this is not adding exact line.
