when: search stdout_lines

I can’t seem to find the proper syntax to search the stdout_lines for a string. Consider the following.

`
tasks:

  • name: List home dirs
    shell: “ls /home”
    register: home
    changed_when: false

  • name: List scripts directory
    shell: “ls /home/gomer/Scripts/ | wc -l”
    changed_when: false
    when: “gomer” in home.stdout_lines

`

I have tried all sorts of combinations to search (regexp, etc), but whatever I try fails… can someone point me in the right direction?

Figured it out:

when: ‘“gomer” in home.stdout_lines’
