Examples

fileglob

fileglob returns a comma-separated string of files matching the search string. If you append wantlist=True you'll get a real list. delegate_to: localhost lets you search on the host you're running Ansible on.

- hosts: localhost
  remote_user: root

  tasks:
    - name: "Bla"
      debug:
        msg: "{{ lookup('fileglob', '/any/path/files/rpms/*.rpm', wantlist=True) }}"
      delegate_to: localhost
