ansible string.split() with multiple delimiters
I'm having a hard time trying to split the string into list using multiple delimiters. I could just split it twice like follows:
myString.split(':')[1].split('.')
However this would look so unelegant.
In my head, I'd like to do something like:
myString.split(': | .')
Is that even a thing?

I can think of two ways to do it.
Replace all delimeters with a single delimeter and then split:
- set_fact: my_list="{{ (myString | regex_replace(':|.', ':')).split(':') }}"
Split using regular expression:
- set_fact: mystr="{{ myString | regex_findall('([^:.]+)') }} "
Yes, as I said, I know I can do it other way. My point is, can the split() be used in ansible to split using multiple delimiters? This answer does not answer my question.

Answer to your question is No. You cant do it with only split() function. You have to ask this as a feature request from ansible.
