In ansible, I need to check whether a particular line present in a file or not. Basically, I need to convert the following command to an ansible task. My goal is to only che
- name: Check whether /tmp/my.conf contains "127.0.0.1"
command: grep -Fxq "127.0.0.1" /tmp/my.conf
register: checkmyconf
check_mode: no
ignore_errors: yes
changed_when: no
- name: Greet the world if /tmp/my.conf contains "127.0.0.1"
debug: msg="Hello, world!"
when: checkmyconf.rc == 0
Update 2017-08-28: Older Ansible versions need to use always_run: yes
instead of check_mode: no
