Hello

i have the following task:

`

- name: Copying webcontent  
synchronize: src=some/relative/path/{{ item }} dest=/some/absolute/path/{{ item }}  
with\_items:
- some
- other

`

what i need:  
“other” does not exist locally and thats ok. How can i check, if the items exist locally and skip the cycle if not?

Thx
