As shown previously, the registered variable's string contents are accessible with the 'stdout' value.
You may check the registered variable's string contents for emptiness::
- name: check registered variable for emptiness
hosts: all
tasks:
- name: list contents of directory
command: ls mydir
register: contents
- name: check contents for emptiness
debug: msg="Directory is empty"
when: contents.stdout == ""
