module: lineinfile
short_description: Manage lines in text files
description:
  - This module ensures a particular line is in a file, or replace an
    existing line using a back-referenced regular expression.
  - This is primarily useful when you want to change a single line in a file only.
  - See the M(ansible.builtin.replace) module if you want to change multiple, similar lines
    or check M(ansible.builtin.blockinfile) if you want to insert/update/remove a block of lines in a file.
    For other cases, see the M(ansible.builtin.copy) or M(ansible.builtin.template) modules.
version_added: "0.7"
options:
  path:
    description:
      - The file to modify.
      - Before Ansible 2.3 this option was only usable as O(dest), O(destfile) and O(name).
    type: path
    required: true
    aliases: [ dest, destfile, name ]
  regexp:
    description:
      - The regular expression to look for in every line of the file.
      - For O(state=present), the pattern to replace if found. Only the last line found will be replaced.
      - For O(state=absent), the pattern of the line(s) to remove.
      - If the regular expression is not matched, the line will be
        added to the file in keeping with O(insertbefore) or O(insertafter)
        settings.
      - When modifying a line the regexp should typically match both the initial state of
        the line as well as its state after replacement by O(line) to ensure idempotence.
      - Uses Python regular expressions. See U(https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html).
    type: str
    aliases: [ regex ]
    version_added: '1.7'
  search_string:
    description:
      - The literal string to look for in every line of the file. This does not have to match the entire line.
      - For O(state=present), the line to replace if the string is found in the file. Only the last line found will be replaced.
      - For O(state=absent), the line(s) to remove if the string is in the line.
      - If the literal expression is not matched, the line will be
        added to the file in keeping with O(insertbefore) or O(insertafter)
        settings.
      - Mutually exclusive with O(backrefs) and O(regexp).
    type: str
    version_added: '2.11'
  state:
    description:
      - Whether the line should be there or not.
    type: str
    choices: [ absent, present ]
    default: present
  line:
    description:
      - The line to insert/replace into the file.
      - Required for O(state=present).
      - If O(backrefs) is set, may contain backreferences that will get
        expanded with the O(regexp) capture groups if the regexp matches.
    type: str
    aliases: [ value ]
  backrefs:
    description:
      - Used with O(state=present).
      - If set, O(line) can contain backreferences (both positional and named)
        that will get populated if the O(regexp) matches.
      - This parameter changes the operation of the module slightly;
        O(insertbefore) and O(insertafter) will be ignored, and if the O(regexp)
        does not match anywhere in the file, the file will be left unchanged.
      - If the O(regexp) does match, the last matching line will be replaced by
        the expanded line parameter.
      - Mutually exclusive with O(search_string).
    type: bool
    default: no
    version_added: "1.1"
  insertafter:
    description:
      - Used with O(state=present).
      - If specified, the line will be inserted after the last match of specified regular expression.
      - If the first match is required, use(firstmatch=yes).
      - A special value is available; V(EOF) for inserting the line at the end of the file.
      - If specified regular expression has no matches, EOF will be used instead.
      - If O(insertbefore) is set, default value V(EOF) will be ignored.
      - If regular expressions are passed to both O(regexp) and O(insertafter), O(insertafter) is only honored if no match for O(regexp) is found.
      - May not be used with O(backrefs) or O(insertbefore).
    type: str
    choices: [ EOF, '*regex*' ]
    default: EOF
  insertbefore:
    description:
      - Used with O(state=present).
      - If specified, the line will be inserted before the last match of specified regular expression.
      - If the first match is required, use O(firstmatch=yes).
      - A value is available; V(BOF) for inserting the line at the beginning of the file.
      - If specified regular expression has no matches, the line will be inserted at the end of the file.
      - If regular expressions are passed to both O(regexp) and O(insertbefore), O(insertbefore) is only honored if no match for O(regexp) is found.
      - May not be used with O(backrefs) or O(insertafter).
    type: str
    choices: [ BOF, '*regex*' ]
    version_added: "1.1"
  create:
    description:
      - Used with O(state=present).
      - If specified, the file will be created if it does not already exist.
      - By default it will fail if the file is missing.
    type: bool
    default: no
  backup:
    description:
      - Create a backup file including the timestamp information so you can
        get the original file back if you somehow clobbered it incorrectly.
    type: bool
    default: no
  firstmatch:
    description:
      - Used with O(insertafter) or O(insertbefore).
      - If set, O(insertafter) and O(insertbefore) will work with the first line that matches the given regular expression.
    type: bool
    default: no
