lookup: csvfile
author: Jan-Piet Mens (@jpmens) <jpmens(at)gmail.com>
version_added: "1.5"
short_description: read data from a TSV or CSV file
description:
- The csvfile lookup reads the contents of a file in CSV (comma-separated value) format.
The lookup looks for the row where the first column matches keyname, and returns the value in the second column, unless a different column is specified.
options:
col:
description: column to return (0 index).
default: "1"
default:
description: what to return if the value is not found in the file.
default: ''
delimiter:
description: field separator in the file, for a tab you can specify "TAB" or "t".
default: TAB
file:
description: name of the CSV/TSV file to open.
default: ansible.csv
encoding:
description: Encoding (character set) of the used CSV file.
default: utf-8
version_added: "2.1"
notes:
- The default is for TSV files (tab delimeted) not CSV (comma delimted) ... yes the name is misleading.
"""
EXAMPLES = """
- name: Match 'Li' on the first column, return the second column (0 based index)
debug: msg="The atomic number of Lithium is {{ lookup('csvfile', 'Li file=elements.csv delimiter=,') }}"
- name: msg="Match 'Li' on the first column, but return the 3rd column (columns start counting after the match)"
debug: msg="The atomic mass of Lithium is {{ lookup('csvfile', 'Li file=elements.csv delimiter=, col=2') }}"
