lineinfile
``````````
This module will search a file for a line, and ensure that it is present or
absent.
This is primarily useful when you only want to change a single line in a file.
For other cases, see the copy or template modules.
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| parameter | required | default | comments |
+====================+==========+=========+============================================================================+
| state | no | present | 'absent' or 'present' |
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| name | yes | | The file to modify. |
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| regexp | yes | | The regular expression to look for in the file. For state=present, the |
| | | | pattern to replace. For state=absent, the pattern of the line to |
| | | | remove. |
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| line | maybe | | Required for state=present. The line to insert/replace into the file. Must |
| | | | match regexp=.
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| insertafter | no | EOF | Used with state=present. If specified, the line will be inserted after the |
| | | | specified regular expression. Two special values are available: BOF for |
| | | | inserting the line at the beginning of the file, and EOF for inserting the |
| | | | line at the end of the file. |

lineinfile name=/etc/selinux/config regexp=^SELINUX= line=SELINUX=disabled
lineinfile name=/etc/sudoers regexp="^#includedir" line="#includedir /etc/sudoers.d"
lineinfile name=/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf regexp="^ServerName " insertafter="^#ServerName " line="ServerName ansible.example.com"
lineinfile name=/etc/sudoers state=absent regexp="^%wheel"
