using regex in jinja 2 for ansible playbooks

Question

HI i am new to jinja2 and trying to use regular expression as shown below

{% if ansible_hostname == \'uat\' %}
   {% set server = \'thinkingmonster.com\' %}
         


        

Answer 1

This is rather ugly, but it works as of 1.6.

{% if server|regex_replace('.*thinking.*','matched') == 'matched' %}
  {% set ssl_certificate = 'akash' %}

{% elif server|regex_replace('.*sleeping.*','matched') == 'matched' %}
   {% set ssl_certificate = 'akashthakur' %}
{% endif %}
