|
|||
|
||||
# convert "localhost:80" to "localhost, 80" using named groups
|
||||
{{ 'localhost:80' | regex_replace('^(?P<host>.+):(?P<port>\\d+)$', '\\g<host>, \\g<port>') }}
|

|
||||
# convert "localhost:80" to "localhost"
|
||||
{{ 'localhost:80' | regex_replace(':80') }}
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: Prior to ansible 2.0, if "regex_replace" filter was used with variables inside YAML arguments (as opposed to simpler 'key=value' arguments),
|
||||
then you needed to escape backreferences (e.g. ``\\1``) with 4 backslashes (``\\\\``) instead of 2 (``\\``).
