Hi,

I have a variable aaa, and its content is formatted in json format . I’m trying to run a ‘find’ command on the value of “output” , however i’m not sure how I can just get the value of “output” I tried *, brackets… with no success

when: aaa.*.output.find(‘Error’) != -1

`

ok: [77.88.111.33] => {
“msg”: [
{
“_ansible_item_result”: true,
“_ansible_no_log”: false,
“_ansible_parsed”: true,
“changed”: true,
“delta”: “0:00:08.218126”,

It's a list, the first entry is aaa.0.output and the the second one is aaa.1.output.
You can't use a wildcard, list is something you usually iterate over so your when makes no sense.
