Juniper Tech Library says it should look like this:

```auto
<rpc>
   <load-configuration>
 
      <!-- replace a pattern globally -->
      <configuration replace-pattern="" with="" [upto=""]>
      </configuration>
   </load-configuration>

```

```auto
</rpc>

```

```auto

```

But I have no idea how to format this kind of rpc request to junos\_rc module:  
The problem is, I think, that there are one tag nested in onother- and .  
Itried this way but It gives mi an error:

```auto

```

- name: replace pattern  
junos\_rpc:  
rpc: load-configuration configuration  
attrs:  
replace-pattern=“pattern1”  
with="pattern2

I tried also this way and it gives me “OK” response but it doesn’t change anything in configuration:

- name: replace pattern  
junos\_rpc:  
rpc: load-configuration  
attrs:  
replace-pattern=“pattern1”  
with="pattern2

Any other idea?  
Thanks in advance,  
Michal
