Hey, you might want to use
- set_fact: machineId={{result.stdout_lines.0}}
as stdout_lines is an array rather than a string. Its hard to tell from
this example because you only have one line in the example. But handy to
know about as sometimes what you need is the contents of the 3rd line or
whatever.
Hope this helps,
Jon
