whitespace in stdout

[sma...@gmail.com]

hello, I am having a hard time finding anything in google on how to remove whitespace from the stdout results.

Here is the play:

  tasks:

    - name: get droplet IPs from inventory

      shell: ansible -i hosts testing --list-hosts

      register: droplet_inventory

    - debug: msg="{{ item|e - }}"

      with_items: "{{ droplet_inventory.stdout_lines}}"

output:

ok: [localhost] => (item=    10.128.164.13) => {

    "item": "    10.128.164.13",

    "msg": "    10.128.164.13"

}

ok: [localhost] => (item=    10.128.163.87) => {

    "item": "    10.128.163.87",

    "msg": "    10.128.163.87"

}

ok: [localhost] => (item=    10.128.163.89) => {

    "item": "    10.128.163.89",

    "msg": "    10.128.163.89"

}

ok: [localhost] => (item=    10.128.163.90) => {

    "item": "    10.128.163.90",

    "msg": "    10.128.163.90"

}

How can I get rid of the leading whitespace?

For now I solved this with:

    - debug: msg={{ item|replace(' ','') }}

      with_items: "{{ droplet_inventory.stdout_lines}}"

if anyone knows a better method please share.

Unclear why you need to remove whitespace from output, can you explain your use case?
