Hey,

I have file var with this content :

version: 3-40-00

I have this task who create repertory :

- name: “Create repertory if run\_db\_test.sh is execut”  
file:  
path: /home/ansible/hospitalis\_sql/gis-db-patch-{{ hold\_version}}-{{ version }}  
state: directory  
delegate\_to: localhost

When i change value of my variable “version: 3-40-00” with this content “version: 3-40-01” in the file var.

I want that :

hold\_version = 3-40-00

version = 3-40-01
