matching a string with search pattern having dots

[Max]

Hello 

Here are the two scenarios:

1) This one works:  

when: ansible_hostname | search("test1-1-xx-1")

2)This one is not able to match the string probably because of dots

when: ansible_hostname | search("test1-1-xx-1.tom.com")

I even tried escapting dots with a backslash without any success.

Any help would be appreciated.

I imagine the problem is that ansible_hostname is the portion of the fqdn. hostname before the first dot.  You will likely want to look at ansible_fqdn instead.

If you run the setup module against a host, you should be able to look at all of the facts to find the appropriate fact names.

Thanks for the info Matt. I Don't have DNS configured and hence even 'ansible_fqdn' is giving me random stuff. For time being I've fixed it with 'group['groupname']'  to iterate over my group and do some regex matching.
