I want to loop over a hash list that will provide two items.

1. The file glob
2. the destination

Is this possible via some sort of nested loop and with\_fileglob?

The list would look something like below, and I’m hoping a single ‘copy’ command using with\_fileglob can accomplish it. The list in actuality will be several dozen lines long and passed as a parameter so hardcoding it is not that easy.

list\_of\_items:

- {{ glob: “/path/to/items/\*”, dest: “/new/path/to/items/” }}
- {{ glob: “/path/to/moreitems/\*”, dest: “/new/path/to/moreitems/” }}  
etc

```auto

```

```auto
