Thanks for your answer,

"atime": 1552039856.1979122,

                "ctime": 1552039856.1899123,

                "dev": 65027,

                "gid": 1003,

                "ischr": false,

                "isdir": false,

                "issock": false,

                "isuid": false,

                "mode": "0644",

                "mtime": 1552039856.1899123,

                "nlink": 1,

                "path": "//home/my_user/roles/http/files/groups/my_groupe.txt",

                "pw_name": "ansible",

                "rgrp": true,

                "roth": true,

                "rusr": true,

                "size": 44,

                "uid": 1003,

                "wgrp": false,

                "woth": false,

                "wusr": true,

                "xgrp": false,

                "xoth": false,

                "xusr": false

My variable must content only my_groupe.txt

[ryad9...@gmail.com]

The task that i use is :

- name: Liste les groupes dans mes_groupes

  find:

    paths: /{{ role_path }}/files/groups/

  register: mes_groupes

  delegate_to: localhost

- debug:

      var: mes_groupes

Why mes_groupes no content only the file who is in my path ?

In a string instead of in a file:
