If you are not familiar with modules, check out Ansible - Getting Started with Modules.

Likewise, if you are not familiar with the unarchive module, check out my article Extract a tar zip bzip2 gzip archive using the unarchive module.

list_files and register can be used to:

• extract an archive
• store the list of files in the archive in a variable

 In this example, the foo.zip archive will be extracted to the /tmp directory and the files and directories in the foo.zip archive will be stored in a variable named list_files. I often find that all I want at first is to list the files in the archive. But, Ansible will extract the archive, so what I tend to do is to delete the extract archive, since the results will be stored in the list_files variable.

- hosts: localhost
  tasks:
  - name: extract example.zip to /tmp/list_files and list files too
    unarchive:
      src: /path/to/example.zip
      dest: /tmp/list_files
      list_files: true
    register: list_files

  - name: delete the /tmp/list_files directory
    file:
      path: /tmp/list_files
      state: absent

  - debug:
      var: list_files
...

The list_files list could have something like this.

ok: [dlmbweb011.thrivent.com] => {
    "list_files": {
        "changed": false,
        "dest": "/tmp",

        "files": [
            "/path/to/directory/",
            "/path/to/directory/foo.txt",
            "/path/to/directory/bar.txt"
        ],
