How to format a variable in Ansible value

Question

Given that Ansible processes all variables through Jinja2, and doing something like this is possible:

- name: Debug sequence item value
  debug: msg={{ \'Ite         


        

Answer 1

It took me a couple of tries to get this right, but try this, instead:

debug: msg={{ 'Item\:\ %02d'|format(item|int) }}

Jinja2 is a bit funny.
