Fetch the values of the variables in ansible - ansible

Question

I am trying to list the names whose matches have been found.
- name: search for files containing string
find:
paths: /root/ansible-dir
patterns: "file3.yml"
contains: "{{ item }}"
with_items: "{{ names_list }}"
register: file_match
- name: print file
debug:
msg: "{{ file_match }}"
After the above code is run, the below code gets generated :
"msg": {
"changed": false,
"msg": "All items completed",
"results": [
{
"ansible_loop_var": "item",
"changed": false,
"examined": 14,
"failed": false,
"files": [],
"invocation": {
"module_args": {
"age": null,
"age_stamp": "mtime",
"contains": "node_mem",
"depth": null,
"excludes": null,
"file_type": "file",
"follow": false,
"get_checksum": false,
"hidden": false,
"paths": [
"/root/ansible-dir"
],
"patterns": [
"file3.yml"
],
"recurse": false,
"size": null,
"use_regex": false
}
},
"item": "node_mem",
"matched": 0,
"msg": ""
},
How to fetch the name of the item where the matched attribute is >=1?

Answer 1

Use subelements. The debug below gives you a hint how to iterate the results and fetch files that contain the items
- debug:
msg: "Fetch {{ item.1 }}"
with_subelements:
- "{{ file_match.results }}"
- files
It is not necessary to test the number of files is >=1. If the list of files is empty the iteration will be skipped anyway.
