Is there any alternative to stdout.line in ansible?-CodePudding

I am facing an issue with stdout.lines in ansible. Are there any alternatives available? This is my code

- hosts: myhost
  tasks:
    - name: get contents 
      shell: "ls /home/*.iso | cut -d '/' -f 7 "
      register: prod

    - name: Copy
      community.vmware.vsphere_copy:
        hostname: host
        username: myuser
        password: mypass
        src: "{{ my_path }}"
        datacenter: VMFStorage
        datastore: SAN-0
        path: "/test_path/{{ prod.stdout_lines }}"
        validate_certs: false

When I run this, the output I'm getting in UI is

['test.iso']

But the expected output is

test.iso

Any help would be appreciated.

[EDIT] Tried using the find command

- hosts: myhost
  tasks:
    - name: find the file
      find:
        paths: /home/
        patterns: '*.iso'
      register: prod
    - debug: var=item.path
      with_items: "{{ prod.files }}"

    - name: Copy
      community.vmware.vsphere_copy:
        hostname: host
        username: myuser
        password: mypass
        src: "{{ my_path }}"
        datacenter: VMFStorage
        datastore: SAN-0
        path: "/test_path/{{ prod.files }}"
        validate_certs: false

Also, in the "path" defined under community.vmware.vsphere_copy module, I just require the name test.iso instead the whole path /home/test.iso

Output of debug:

CodePudding user response：

loop over prod.files, take the path key and use the basename filter:

- name: Copy
  community.vmware.vsphere_copy:
    hostname: host
    username: myuser
    password: mypass
    src: "{{ my_path }}"
    datacenter: VMFStorage
    datastore: SAN-0
    path: "/test_path/{{ item.path | basename }}"
    validate_certs: false
  loop: "{{ prod.files }}"
