Not really what it is you are trying to achieve, but perhaps you can have a
simple structure and use filters to fetch the parts of the full path that
you need.
Something like this:
---
- name: Demonstrate splitting paths
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
vars:
my_files:
- /data/ansible/testing1/test.reg
- /data/ansible/testing1/test.lst
tasks:
- name: get directory
debug: msg={{item | dirname }}
with_items: my_files
- name: get basename
debug: msg={{item | basename }}
with_items: my_files
- name: get extention before v2
debug: msg={{item.split('.')[1] }}
with_items: my_files
Hope this helps
