module: replace
author: Evan Kaufman
short_description: Replace all instances of a particular string in a
file using a back-referenced regular expression.
description:
- This module will replace all instances of a pattern within a file.
- It is up to the user to maintain idempotence by ensuring that the
same pattern would never match any replacements made.
version_added: "1.6"
options:
dest:
required: true
aliases: [ name, destfile ]
description:
- The file to modify.
regexp:
required: true
description:
- The regular expression to look for in the contents of the file.
Uses Python regular expressions; see
U(http://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html).
Uses multiline mode, which means C(^) and C($) match the beginning
and end respectively of I(each line) of the file.
replace:
required: false
description:
- The string to replace regexp matches. May contain backreferences
that will get expanded with the regexp capture groups if the regexp
matches. If not set, matches are removed entirely.
backup:
required: false
default: "no"
choices: [ "yes", "no" ]
description:
- Create a backup file including the timestamp information so you can
get the original file back if you somehow clobbered it incorrectly.
validate:
required: false
description:
- validation to run before copying into place
required: false
default: None
others:
description:
- All arguments accepted by the M(file) module also work here.
required: false
