## Convert stdout_lines into json format ##

[Monohar Krushna Behera]

Hi Team,

Greetings of the day!!!

Is there any module or plugin available through which we can convert the stdout_lines of a win_shell output into json data.

if it is available can you help me how to use it.

Below is my powershell command output coming in ansible result.

    "stdout_lines": [

        "",

        " Id ProcessName       CPU",

        " -- -----------       ---",

        "564 lsass        83.46875",

        "876 svchost     82.484375",

        "",

        ""

    ]

Expecting output like below format:

 "stdout_lines": 

    {

        "Id":  564,

        "ProcessName":  "lsass",

        "CPU":  83.46875

    },

    {

        "Id":  876,

        "ProcessName":  "svchost",

        "CPU":  82.484375

    }

so that I can fetch the id or process names like stdout_lines.ProcessName

In your win_shell command add “| ConvertTo-Json” to the end. That will pipe the output into a json string which you can then use the from_json filter in Ansible to turn it into a dict.
