Is there any regular-expression that can capture only the interface-names (e.g. put them in different capture groups) to be able to use them in new tasks ?

CodePudding user response：

If running your ansible playbook on GNU/linux there may be some commands and options to make any subsequent regex-filtering obsolete.

What is the current command that produces this output?

Q: "Capture only the interface-names"

A: Given the data is text stored in the variable stdout, split the lines, select non-empty, split items, and select the first items

  ifc: "{{ stdout.split('\n')|select()|map('split')|map('first') }}"

gives

  ifc: [Gi0/1, Gi0/2, Gi0/3, Gi0/4, Gi0/5, Gi0/6, ... , Fa0/12]
