Hi All.

I currently pass a comma seperated list of variables to my ansible tower template in this matter

param1: xxxxx  
server\_port\_list: “‘server1,4455’,‘server2,7777’,‘server3,5588’”

I have a file which has the contents below.

server1,4455  
server2,7777  
server3,5588

I have written the playbook in such a way that I now have access to the file.

I use the snippet below to read the file content.

- name: read file content  
win\_shell: type {{server\_list}}  
register: my\_server\_list

I need it passed to my script in this format, “‘server1,4455’,‘server2,7777’,‘server3,5588’”

How can i do this in ansible ?
