Problem: regex should find the end of the line - take the next new line

[Shlomit Afgin]

Hi,

I have 

  - name: update file1 with 0 in the end if it missing

    replace:

      backup: yes

      dest: /tmp/file1

      regexp: '^(start of line.*[^0])$'

      replace: '\1 0'

This add 0 to lines that start with "start of line". 

It's run okay if there are no empty lines between.  

If there is empty line under the match line it add the 0 to the empty line. 

For example, the 2 lines: 

start of line fjhdsjkfhdsk  

will be:

start of line fjhdsjkfhdsk
0

instead of:

start of line fjhdsjkfhdsk 0

I tried to add the (?<!0) the look behind - but don't work at all. 

How can I make it catch the first new line?

It's in the documentation of the module under regexp.
