You can filter them out after the fact at least

For only ! lines
{{ print_output.stdout_lines | reject('equalto', '!') | list }}

All lines starting with !
{{ print_output.stdout_lines | reject('search', '^!') | list }}

Where would this go within the yml file?

You could give us the courtesy and give us the error message, we are not
mind readers.

But your indentation is not correct and you need to remove the dash on
debug.

There is not error. It runs but doesn't remove the "!".

If you look at my post you'll see that you are mixing the syntax
together.
equalto is without the caret and search is with caret character.
