Extract substring from variable in Ansible

Question

Edited: I wrote this playbook but it does not show the extracted variable:

---
- hosts: fppc
  gather_facts: false
  remote_user: xyz  
  connection: local
  tasks:
  - name: N1
    ios_command:
       commands:
         - sh run | i bann          
    register: sr

  - debug: msg="{{ sr.stdout}}"

  - set_fact: 
      rid: "{{ sr.stdout | regex_search('.*ID: (..)')  }}"

  - debug: msg="{{ rid }}"

Execution:

ansible@Ansible:~$ ansible-playbook pb1.yml

PLAY [fppc] *************************************************************************

    "msg": [
        "banner login ^CID: A4"
    ]
}

        to retry, use: --limit @/home/ansible/pb1.retry

ansible@Ansible:~$

Solution 1

I found the solution:

---
- hosts: fppc
  gather_facts: false
  remote_user: xyz
  connection: local

  tasks:
  - name: N1
    ios_command:
       commands:
         - sh run         
    register: sr

  - set_fact:
      temp: "{{ sr.stdout_lines | join }}"

  - set_fact:
      rid: "{{  temp | regex_replace('.*ID: (..).*', '\\1')  }}"

  - debug: msg="{{ rid }}"

Execution:

ansible@Ansible:~$ ansible-playbook pb1.yml

Solution 2

Other solution, more logical:

---
- hosts: fppc
  gather_facts: false
  remote_user: xyz
  connection: local

  tasks:
  - name: N1
    ios_command:
       commands:
         - sh run         
    register: sr

  - set_fact: 
      rid: "{{ sr.stdout | regex_search('(?<=ID:)\\s+\\S+', multiline=True) | trim }}"

  - debug: msg="{{ rid }}"

Execution:

ansible@Ansible:~$ ansible-playbook pb1.yml

PLAY [fppc] ********************************************************************

TASK [N1] **********************************************************************

TASK [debug] *******************************************************************

}
