How can escape colon in a string within an Ansible YAML file?

Question

I want to change one line of my code in file /var/www/kibana/config.js during installation from

elasticsearch: \"http://\"+window.location.hostname+\":9200\"         


        

Answer 1

Just keep the colon in quotes separately -

regexp="(elasticsearch.* \"http.*)$" line="elasticsearch':' \" {{ elasticsearch_URL }}:{{ elasticsearch_port }} \" "
