Hi all,

I have this variable “my\_variable” with content “machainedecaractere”

Why when i show this variable with module :

- debug:  
msg: “{{ my\_variable }}”

I show on wondows :

ok: [localhost] =\> {  
“my\_variable”: {  
“changed”: false,  
“failed”: false,  
“meta”: {  
“machainedecaractere”  
}  
}  
}

Someone have an idea why i have this result ?

Thanks community ansible !! 😉

Regards,

Use **var** instead of **msg**.

- debug:  
**var** : “{{ my\_variable }}”
