Checking a filename for a timestamp and what to do next?

Question

Automation

Good afternoon.
Please help in the following situation: It is
necessary to register the following action mechanism in the playbook:

1) The playbook looks in the directory, looking for .yml files
2) If it finds it, it looks at the file name.
Based on the file name, 2 actions are performed:
a) if the file name contains a time stamp of the YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MM:SS format, then it writes the name of this playbook to another file.
b) if there is no timestamp in the playbook name, then it is instantly executed.

If there is no problem with capturing the name - find or fileglob does a great job with this, then it is not clear what to do with the reaction to the file name.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Run find via command. put stdout into a variable.

Answer 2

command is evil. the module is
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/fi...
and there are the necessary regexes
or you can filter what the module has already found via select()
