Bug description
I am getting unneeded trailing spaces when using zos_lineinfiles with backrefs: true to modify line.
As an example I tested the following task to add # before the line starting with B:
- name: test
zos_lineinfile:
src: /tmp/test22.txt
regexp: ^(B.+)$
state: present
line: '# \1'
backrefs: true
register: result
test22.txt is a simple test file IBM-1047 encoded.
A 11
B 22
C 33
D 44
After successful running the playbook, the file was modified as follows:
A 11
# B 22
C 33
D 44
