Pulling out the output of a playbook called with in another playbook

Dear All,

Is there any way of pulling out the output of an ansible-playbook called by “command” module in another playbook?
I’m doing it as a workaround against dynamic inventory. The first playbook actually runs a script that generates a “var” file which is used by the second playbook.

I’m trying: “debug: output.stdout_lines”, but it gives output with lot of unwanted information and all in yellow color.

changed: [127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1] => (item=TASK: [run_test | Compiling Results] **************************************** )
changed: [127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1] => (item=changed: [192.168.1.28])
changed: [127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1] => (item=changed: [192.168.1.21])
changed: [127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1]
changed: [127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1] => (item=TASK: [run_test | Fetching Results] ***************************************** )
changed: [127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1] => (item=changed: [192.168.1.28])
changed: [127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1] => (item=changed: [192.168.1.21])
changed: [127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1] => (item=TASK: [command python cat_stats.py] ***************************** )

changed: [127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1] => (item=changed: [127.0.0.1])
changed: [127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1]
changed: [127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1] => (item=PLAY RECAP ******************************************************************** )
changed: [127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1] => (item=127.0.0.1 : ok=5 changed=2 unreachable=0 failed=0 )
changed: [127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1] => (item=192.168.1.21 : ok=11 changed=10 unreachable=0 failed=0 )
changed: [127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1] => (item=192.168.1.28 : ok=11 changed=10 unreachable=0 failed=0 )

I don’t want to see the " [127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1] => ".
How can I make it look like the colorful output of first level ansible playbook?

any help or suggestion is appreciated.

Warm Regards,
Fazal

I would use register. Take a look at it here: http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_conditionals.html#register-variables
