I am going to keep this post short and sweet and hope someone can help me 
wrap my head around how to grab values from key,value pairs returned by a 
script I an running.

I use the ansible "shell:" module to run a script that generates and API 
key and ID and prints the results to stdout and then I use register to save 
the data.

Lets say I use register: or set_fact: to save the results of the following 
command to 'keyobject':

./script generatekey bar --bw --obj
{
  "app": "bar",
  "id": "3aa234234dfadsf2348351",
  "key": "aeb46dasdfasdfcc9c5e2b031edsdddd2e56c33c7d61efbb071fb06"
}

When I attempt to do a simple debug: msg="{{ keyobject" }} it will print 
everything out no problem (with some extra stuff added). But if I try 
something like {{ keyobject['key'] }} or keyobject.key or any other 
multitude of variations on that I am not having much success. It seems the 
json gets mangled or extra info added like 'msg'. 

I am too worn out now to post all of the different things I have tried and 
their resulting failures. I've gotten close but not further than close. If 
this isn't possible let me know and I will stop torturing myself.

Based on the above output what would you try? I've also tried from_json and 
some other things. I was certain I would have this pegged within a few 
hours but after reading a million posts and trying to figure it out 
unsuccessfully with a co-worker I am feeling defeated :)

Thanks!
