Performing action on list items inside another loop

Hi guys,

Please provide your advise on below scenario:

Finding files and putting in a list code -----

  • name: find Files to move
    find:
    paths: ‘{{ item.VlclDirName }}’
    patterns: ‘{{ item.VlclFileSpec }}’
    register: filesfound
    when: item.VlclDirName is defined and item.VlclUser == VlclCmdLineUser
    loop: “{{ lookup(‘vars’, VinWindow)[‘mv’] }}”

  • name: Parse into list
    set_fact:
    results_list: “{{ filesfound.results | map(attribute=‘files’) | sum(start=) | map(attribute=‘path’) | list }}”

output for the above list:

ok: [localhost] => {
“ansible_facts”: {
“results_list”: [
“/tmp/DevFileTestLocation/lets.log”,
“/tmp/DevFileTestLocation/see.log”
]
},
“changed”: false
}

Using the results_list in another loop as below :

  • name: setting variable for trget directory
    set_fact:
    VlclTgtDir: ‘{{ item.VlclTgtDir }}’
    VlclMvCode: “{{ ‘DTG’ if (VlclTgtDir == ’ ') else VlclTgtDir }}”
    shell: mv “{{ results_list.item }}” “{{ VlclMvCode}}”
    when: item.VlclDirName is defined and item.VlclUser == VlclCmdLineUser
    loop: “{{ lookup(‘vars’, VinWindow)[‘mv’] }}”

Here a lookup is being done in loop for checking cfg file and fetching values of list where key is ‘MV’

The above code is not working and i would appreciate if someone can tell me of a way to do the shell move command with items of results_list within loop of cfg file values.

Thanks.
