Ansible-variable containing double quotes changed
Barun kumar
When I assign a variable containing double quotes to another variable the double quotes (") sometimes get converted to single quotes ('). .can you please suggest how to solve this.

"stdout_lines": [
"[\"dev/xvdj\",\"dev/xvdk\"]"
]
}
}
Expected value to store in variable : [\"dev/xvdj\",\"dev/xvdk\"]
But it is storing this variable value: [u'dev/xvdj', u'dev/xvdk']
Tel me know how to solve this issue.
