reading from files

[coach...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Trying to read the values from flat files and to use it as a variables in the ansible playbook , for example
 
the flatfile is
#cat output

 example.com/development/testcaseone:v99

I want to use above values as a variables in the playbook , just like
---
- hosts:
  vars:
    rt1: example.com
    stage_name: development
    job_name: testcaseone
    version_number: v99


I tried with lookup ('file', /path/to/output) but it gives the entire output of the value..

thanks for the help..

Not tested but something like this might work.

- fetch:
src: /path/to/file
register: r

- set_fact:
rt1: '{{ (r.content | b64decode).split('/')[0] }}'
stage_name: '{{ (r.content | b64decode).split('/')[1] }}'
job_name: '{{ (r.content | b64decode).split('/')[2].split(':')[0] }}'
version_number: '{{ (r.content | b64decode).split('/')[2].split(':')[1] }}'
