I have a task

- name: DELEGATED ADMIN ACCOUNTS - check, get and send to the file domain.list
  shell: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov -l gaaa -v zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount
and after this task I got output
changed: [Shrrah] => {
    "changed": true,

        "# name prueba7@prueba7.com",
        "zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE",
        "# name prueba9@prueba9.com"
I need to get data with n# name prueba7@prueba7.com\nzimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE from "stdout" or from "stdout_lines" in format:
prueba7@prueba7.com zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE
prueba7@prueba7.com
zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE
and send it to the file.txt. Number of lines can be different (one o more users with domain).
I have no idea how I can do this, is this possible? If you know could you please help with advice? Thank you!
You may have a look into debug – Print statements during execution, Using Variables and Return Values.
- hosts: localhost
  become: true
  gather_facts: false
  vars:
    RESULT:
      STDOUT_LINES:
        - "# name admin@shrrah.esquimail.com"
        - "zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: FALSE"
        - "# name prueba5@prueba5.com"
        - "# name prueba7@prueba7.com"
        - "zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE"
        - "# name prueba9@prueba9.com"
  tasks:
  - name: Show STDOUT_LINES
    debug:
      msg: "{{ RESULT.STDOUT_LINES }}"
resulting into an output only of
TASK [Show STDOUT_LINES] *****************
ok: [localhost] =>
  - '# name admin@shrrah.esquimail.com'
  - 'zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: FALSE'
  - '# name prueba5@prueba5.com'
  - '# name prueba7@prueba7.com'
  - 'zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE'
  - '# name prueba9@prueba9.com'
and if Ansible Callback plugin is configured to YAML instead of JSON.
To get lines containing certain strings only you may Loop over the list based on a Condition
  - name: Show lines with TRUE only
    debug:
      msg: "{{ item }}"
    when: "'TRUE' in item"
    loop: "{{ RESULT.STDOUT_LINES }}"
resulting into an output of
TASK [Show lines with TRUE only] *******************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE) =>
  msg: 'zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE'
Further Documenation
Index of all Callback Plugins
If you like to have the line before included, you could use an approach like
  - name: Show lines with TRUE and line before
    debug:
      msg: "{{ RESULT.STDOUT_LINES[ansible_loop.index0 - 1] }}\n{{ item }}"
    when: "'TRUE' in item"
    loop: "{{ RESULT.STDOUT_LINES }}"
    loop_control:
      extended: true
      label: "{{ ansible_loop.index0 }}"
resulting into an output of
TASK [Show lines with TRUE and line before] *************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=6) =>
  msg: |-
    # name prueba7@prueba7.com
    zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE
Further Documentation
Extended loop variables
Since you are using the shell module, you could use also an approach like
- name: DELEGATED ADMIN ACCOUNTS - check, get and send to the file domain.list
  shell: 
    cmd: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov -l gaaa -v zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount | grep -B 1 TRUE
and gather only result lines which are true an the line before.
Further Q&A
grep a file, but show several surrounding lines?
Regarding
... send it to the file.txt
you may have a look into
Ansible - Save registered variable to file
Ansible: Save registered variables to file
    - set_fact:
        info: "{{ info|d({})|combine({_key: _val}) }}"
      loop: "{{ stdout.split('#')[1:] }}"
      vars:
        _list: "{{ item.split('\n')|map('trim') }}"
        _key: "{{ _list.0.split(' ')|last }}"
        _val: "{{ _list[1:]|select()|map('from_yaml')|combine }}"
gives
  info:
    admin@shrrah.esquimail.com:
      zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: false
    prueba5@prueba5.com: {}
    prueba7@prueba7.com:
      zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: true
    prueba9@prueba9.com: {}
Then, the template is trivial. Either print all items
    - copy:
        content: |-
          {% for k,v in info.items() %}
          {{ k }}
          {{ v|to_nice_yaml }}
          {% endfor %}
        dest: file.txt
gives
shell> cat file.txt 
admin@shrrah.esquimail.com
zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: false
prueba5@prueba5.com
prueba7@prueba7.com
zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: true
prueba9@prueba9.com
, or explicitly select item(s)
    - copy:
        content: |-
          prueba7@prueba7.com
          {{ info['prueba7@prueba7.com']|to_nice_yaml }}
        dest: file.txt
gives
shell> cat file.txt 
prueba7@prueba7.com
zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: true
Additional attributes will be parsed too, e.g.
    stdout_lines: [
      "# name admin@shrrah.esquimail.com",
      "zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: FALSE",
      "# name prueba5@prueba5.com",
      "# name prueba7@prueba7.com",
      "zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: TRUE",
      "zimbraIsDelegatedRootAccount: TRUE",
      "# name prueba9@prueba9.com"
will give
  info:
    admin@shrrah.esquimail.com:
      zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: false
    prueba5@prueba5.com: {}
    prueba7@prueba7.com:
      zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: true
      zimbraIsDelegatedRootAccount: true
    prueba9@prueba9.com: {}
and consequently
shell> cat file.txt 
prueba7@prueba7.com
zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount: true
zimbraIsDelegatedRootAccount: true
