David -
I haven't tried doing exactly what you're trying to do, but I did something
similar. I've changed the variable names to protect the innocent):
- name: remember variables
set_fact:
myvar: "{{var1}}{{item.path|basename| regex_replace('^' + version_regex
+ '$', '\\1') }}" #regex parses version from jar file name
with_items: "{{output.files}}"
Maybe that'll give you something to go off?
