Hi,  
Is there a way to pass multiple variables to a task? All the variables will be defined in inventory file:

For example:  
My inventory file 1 will be having variables like below:  
is\_xyz=true  
is\_abc=false  
is\_sdf=true  
…  
…

My inventory file 2 will be having variables like below:  
is\_xyz=true  
is\_mnp=true  
is\_sdf=false  
…  
…

I want to use one playbook for multiple inventory files and I dont want to change the variable names every time in playbook. I want to know if there is a way to pass variables like {{ is\_\* }} (i mean with wildcard)

Thanks
