a SO question usually should have a "Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example" stackoverflow.com/help/mcve. What code did you try ? what would be the signature of the code you need (if you really can't figure how it should be written) ?

To use blockinfile on multiple files to change blocks of text ...
you might want to create templates and loop the blockinfile module.
- blockinfile:
marker: "# {mark} ANSIBLE MANAGED BLOCK {{ item.template }}"
create: yes
path: "{{ item.file }}"
block: "{{ lookup('template', item.template) }}"
loop: "{{ files_templates }}"

Thanks for your help, but maybe I explained myself badly. I have 2 files tor.txt and abc.txt and I would like to use the blockinfile function for both files, always using the same block of text.
