The goal is to select all the lines of a list which do NOT contain a specific word.
For instance, “{{ files }}” contains a list of filenames. We need to select all the filenames which do not include the word ‘all’.
So with:
files:
- aaaaaaaaaaa
- bbbbbbbbbbb
- cccccccccccc
- d-all-ddddddd
The expected result would be:
files_filtered::
- aaaaaaaaaaa
- bbbbbbbbbbb
- cccccccccccc
I unsuccessfully tried:
set_fact:
files_filtered: “{{ files | select(‘match’, ‘^(.^((?!all).).+)$’) | list }}”
The result is empty.
Any suggestion?
