 - name: Build Archive files 123.
    set_fact:
      archfilesloc: "{{ archfiles.split(\" +\")[1] }}" doesnt work
 - name: Build Archive files 123.
    set_fact:
      archfilesloc: "{{ archfiles.split(\"\\s+\")[1] }}"doesnt work
 - name: Build Archive files 123.
    set_fact:
      archfilesloc: "{{ archfiles.split(\"[\\s+]\")[1] }}" doesnt work

Try the following:

archfiles.split()[1]

Here, split() is a Python function and behaves exactly like it does in python.
