I need only the change no as in record field, it working fine for single run but it failing when in loop. can some one help me. needed filed in "number": "CHG0030428",  I will have multiple change no through out the debug module.
I tried with selectattr and map to it was not working

msg: "{{test.results.record| selectattr('number','match','^CH$')}}"
and
msg: "{{test.record| selectattr('number','match','^CH$')|list}}"
msg: "{{test.results.record| selectattr('number','match','^CH$')}}"

output is:

ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": "<generator object _select_or_reject at 0x7f11a00bf2d0>"


full output:

ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": "<generator object _select_or_reject at 0x7f11a00bf2d0>"

I don't understand what you are searching for but, to match in the number you need to user this

{{ test.results | selectattr('record.number','match','^CH$') | list }}

HI Kai,

sorry for the late reply,

I have tried above one, still its not working to me. It gives the empty string in output.


my playbook has below tasks:
  register: test
- debug:
     msg: "{{test}}"
- debug:
     msg: "{{ test.results | selectattr('record.number','match','^CH$') | list }}

where this is not fetching the correct chg no. could you please recheck it if possible. I just need to fetch this output "number": "CHG0030052" even If I run it in loop.

'^CH$' is only matching two characert that start with C and end with H aka CH,
so if you are trying to match something that start with CH you will need to remove the $.
