  - debug:

What i would like to Return is just

 "msg":  "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"


That would be {{ mdb.json.0['mac-address'] }}

because of the dash in mac-address you need to use [] notation and not 
the dot notation on that one.

[ansible-project] Ansible Split JSON Return

[David Foley]

Have the Following Playbook Which Returns the following

ok: [localhost] => {
"mdb.json": [
{
"mac-address": "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
}
]
}


--
- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
  - name: Getting Mac Address 
uri: url="http://.com?field=mac-address; return_content=yes
register: mdb
  - debug:
  msg: "{{ mdb.json.split(':') }}"

What i would like to Return is just 

 "msg":  "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"

But Split doesn't seem to work
