On this page [https://www.tailored.cloud/devops/how-to-filter-and-map-lists-in-ansible/](https://www.tailored.cloud/devops/how-to-filter-and-map-lists-in-ansible/)

> use “ **select** ” filter to filter a list and “ **match** ” to combine it with reg expressions, like:
> 
> “{{ ansible\_interfaces | **select(‘match’, ‘^(eth|wlan)[0-9]+’)** | list }}”

In your case maybe this will work:

- debug:  
msg: “{{ rollbacks.stdout\_lines | select(‘match’, ‘/opt/bea/cfgtoollogs/opatch’) | list }}”
