How can I make this work?

Hi! I’m still learning Ansible. I need help with recursively replacing strings in a directory.

Will this code work?

- replace:
dest: "/home/ansible/cloning/*"
regexp: "{{ansible_hostname}}"
replace: "{{ansible_system}"
with_filetree: "/home/ansible/cloning/"

Thanks!

you need to specify the file, which is contained in the 'item'
variable produced by the loop:

- replace:
   dest: "/home/ansible/cloning/{{item}}"
    regexp: "{{ansible_hostname}}"
    replace: "{{ansible_system}"
  with_filetree: "/home/ansible/cloning/"
