Parse registered output into a variable?

[burn...@umn.edu]

Hello - Is there a way to parse registered output into a variable? 

Pseudo Code:

  tasks:
  - name: Sample Task
    command: 'blah'
    register: output
  - debug: var=output.stdout

TASK [debug] *******************************************************************
ok: [target] => {
    "output.stdout": "Foo: Bar"
}

So I can easily register and use "Foo: Bar". But is there a way where I can just store "Bar" for later use? 
For context, the command uses some black box vendor provided classes so I'm unable to change the actual output. I need to work with what is presented.

Thank you!

set_fact:

    just_bar: "{{ output.stdout.split()|last }}"

Or any other number of things.  The key there is to use set_fact to set a new variable.
