Ansible display the contents of a variable

Question

If I have these 2 task

- name: Replace ServerIP in config_file on OTHER NODES
  set_fact:
    variable: "{{hostvars.localhost.new_ips.results}}"

- name: Display variable
  debug: var=variable

The result of which are:

TASK: [Display variable] *********************************************************

    "variable": [
        {

            "stdout": "11.11.4.138"
        }
    ]
}

Then how can I access the stdout part of variable only. Please note, I just require the stdout part of this variable i.e 11.11.4.74 and 11.11.4.138 (in a loop preferably)

Answer 1

You can either access it individually

{{ variable[0].stdout }}

and {{ variable[1].stdout }}

OR use loop

  - debug: var=item.stdout
    with_items: variable
