with_nested combined with with_sequence and with_fileglob ?

Hi:

I’d like to do a nested loop over a sequence and a file glob. A simplified example of what I thought might work is:

  • command: cp {{ item[1] }} {{ item[1] }}.{{ item[0] }}
    with_nested:
  • with_sequence: start=0 end=10
  • with_fileglob:
  • /etc/*

However, this syntax doesn’t work. It reports:

failed: […] => (item=[‘with_sequence’, ‘with_fileglob’]) => {“changed”: true, “cmd”: [“cp”, “with_fileglob”, “/etc/”], “delta”: “0:00:00.017533”, “end”: “2014-03-10 21:32:51.381160”, “item”: [“with_sequence”, “with_fileglob”], “rc”: 1, “start”: “2014-03-10 21:32:51.363627”}
stderr: cp: cannot stat `with_fileglob’: No such file or directory

Is there a way to achieve what I want? I thought about replacing the with_fileglob with a register of “command: ls -1 /etc/*”, and with_sequence replaced by a register of seq. This seems hacky, though.

Thanks,

Rob
