Hi

- pause:  
prompt: Do You want to Add this item “{{ item }}” ?  
register: item\_list  
with\_lines: cat file\_name  
run\_once: true

- set\_fact:  
my\_list: “{{ item\_list.results | map(attribute=‘item’) | list | join(‘,’) }}”

In my playbook, i want to set fact with name **my\_list** with items from file **file\_filename** for which **item\_list.user\_input** is **yes.**  
Please help in this.

Appreciate your help

Thanks,  
Utkarsh

It’s done using selectattr

my\_list: “{{ item\_list.results | selectattr(‘user\_input’, ‘match’, ‘^yes$’) | map(attribute=‘item’) | list | join(‘,’) }}”
