Hello Team,

I am using ios_command module in a playbook. With this module we executes different commands (i.e. show version, show ISIS neighbor, show users etc…) on routers and collect respective output in text file. To copy out-put in a text file we use “copy” module. And whole playbook executed properly for all 58 commands except 2 commands.

Can anyone support me to collect very long output in a text file.
