Ansible retrieve multiple array values from results - ansible

Question

I'd like to be able to iterate over all of the name values, but I'm not sure how to do so with Ansible. The variable domain is a list, and register is used.
- name: find *.ccfg files in domain(s)
find:
paths: "/tmp/opt/{{ item }}/ccfg"
patterns: "*.ccfg"
recurse: yes
excludes: "Admin.ccfg"
with_items: "{{ domain }}"
register: files
when: ('local' in group_names)
- debug:
msg: "{{ files.results }}"
The path value in each array could be anywhere from 1 to 20. Each index in the array has multiple values. Some arrays may not have any values
Standard Output:
ok: [127.0.0.1] => {

Take a look at the json_query filter:
- debug:
msg: "{{ item }}"
with_items: "{{ files | json_query('results[*].files[*].path') }}"
