In Ansible, a multi-line string can be defined using the pipe (|) character followed by a newline character. This allows for easy formatting and readability of long strings.
For example, to define a multi-line string in an Ansible playbook, you can use the following syntax:
- name: Example playbook
vars:
my_string: |
This is a multi-line string.
It contains several lines of text.
Each line is separated by a newline character.
tasks:
- name: Debug my string
debug:
var: my_string
In the above example, the my_string
variable is defined as a multi-line string using the pipe character followed by newlines to separate each line. This string can then be used in subsequent tasks in the playbook.
