How to do 3 with_items in the same task ?

[Anand Solomon]

Hi,

I am reading 3 different variable from a text file and want to iterate in 3 different with_items.

variablefile.yml

vars1 :

 - first_value1

 - first_value 2

var2:

 - second_value1

 - second_value2

var3:

 - third_value1

 - third_value2 

I want to read the value from the text file and pass that as a variable in loop. 

        var_value1: "{{ item }}"

      with_items: "{{ var_value1}}"

        var_value2: "{{ item }}"

      with_items: "{{ var_value2}}"

        var_value3: "{{ item }}"

      with_items: "{{ var_value3}}"

Not sure how do I do this ?

The tasks below

- include_vars: variablefile.yml
- debug:
var: item
loop: "{{ var1 + var2 + var3 }}"

give

"item": "first_value1"
"item": "first_value2"
"item": "second_value1"
"item": "second_value2"
"item": "third_value1"
"item": "third_value2"

Thanks very much.

Basically what I want is , I have a file to store my variable, it has the following contents

value1: Something1

value2: Something2

privs1: privs_value1

privs2: privs_value2

In my playbook, I want to iterate this 

value: "{{value1}}"

privilege: "{{privs1}}"

value: "{{value2}}"

privilege: "{{privs2}}"

Create the lists of the variables and use "zip" too loop them. For example

- set_fact:
value_keys: "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname].keys()|
select('match', '^value(.*)$')|
list|sort }}"
- set_fact:
value_list: "{{ value_keys|
map('extract', hostvars[inventory_hostname])|
list }}"
- set_fact:
privs_keys: "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname].keys()|
select('match', '^privs(.*)$')|
list|sort }}"
- set_fact:
privs_list: "{{ privs_keys|
map('extract', hostvars[inventory_hostname])|
list }}"
- debug:
msg: "value: {{ item.0 }} privilege: {{ item.1 }}"
loop: "{{ value_list|zip(privs_list)|list }}"

give

"msg": "value: Something1 privilege: privs_value1"
"msg": "value: Something2 privilege: privs_value2"
