Unable to parse debug msg in ansible

Question

I have got a debug msg in ansible in the below format:

"msg": [ "Output: test output ", "ABC: some text ", "", "Master ", "Location: test location ", "URL: https://www.google.com " ] 

}

Now I want to retrieve the URL value from the above output, which i will use in rest of the ansible script. How can i get this URL which is "http://www.google.com", in this exact format? Please help.

Q: "How can I get this URL which is "http://www.google.com", in this exact format?"

A: Create a dictionary. Given the list

 my_list: ["Output: test output ", "ABC: some text ", "", "Master ", "Location: test location ", "URL: https://www.google.com "] 

The task

 - set_fact: my_dict: "{{ my_dict|default({})|combine(item|from_yaml) }}" loop: "{{ my_list }}" when: item|from_yaml is mapping 

creates the dictionary

 my_dict: ABC: some text Location: test location Output: test output URL: https://www.google.com 

Get the attribute URL

 - debug: var: my_dict.URL 

gives

 my_dict.URL: https://www.google.com
