Jordan,
Thanks a million. I was able to get the output I'm looking for. Now that
have the list of files in my C:\Temp, how do I fetch those files to my
ansible controller host? Here's an example I have so far but failing at
one section.
*- hosts: all gather_facts: yes tasks: - win_shell: dir /b
C:\Temp\*.tar args: executable: cmd register: results -
debug: var: results.stdout_lines - name: get the files
fetch: src: "C:/Temp/{{ item }}" dest:
/home/vagrant/win-script-result/ flat: yes with_items: "{{
results.stdout_lines }}"*

]
}

"results.stdout_lines": [

]
}
