---
- hosts: localhost
 
  tasks:
  - name: Register JSON output as a variable
    ansible.builtin.shell: cat /etc/ansible/playbook/yaamlfile.yml
    register: result

  - name: Set a variable
    ansible.builtin.set_fact:
      myvar: "{{ result.stdout | from_yaml }}"

  - copy:
        content: "{{ myvar }}"
        dest:    /etc/ansible/playbook/convertedtojson.json
[root@cmptest01-cc playbook]# cat yaamlfile.yml
