Hi there, I have a question. I’m writing an ansible playbook for my cisco ASA device. As part of the playbook, I need to reset the “Current BOOT variable” in below output. sec/stby/Fw4Script(config)# show bootvar BOOT variable = disk0:/asa916-10-k8.bin;disk0:/asa916-k8.bin Current BOOT variable = disk0:/asa916-10-k8.bin;disk0:/asa916-k8.bin;disk0:/asa823-k8.bin CONFIG\_FILE variable = Current CONFIG\_FILE variable = sec/stby/Fw4Script(config)# And it should be done by 3 steps: no boot system disk0:/asa823-k8.bin no boot system disk0:/asa916-k8.bin no boot system disk0:/asa916-10-k8.bin So Ansible should get the output and register it, and remove the variables(which are seperated by “;” in the output) one by one. Anyone has any idea how to do it? ---

Probably register the output, filter by “Current BOOT variable”, then apply some regular expressions to match, and use that again later.
