I am trying to grab every other character in a very long variable, and 
placing it in another variable.  This is what I have:

set_fact:
   new_string: "{{ [ 0,2,4,6,8,10,12 ] | map('extract', verylongvariable) 
}}"

I've also tried this:
set_fact:
    new_string: "{{ [ 0,2,4,6,8,10,12 ] | map('extract', verylongvariable) 
}} | map('join', ',' | join('')) }}

What I end up getting in the new_string is this:

   'N', 'y', 'a', 'd'....

What I want is:

    Nyad....

I clearly am not understanding the join syntax.  How do I use join to get 
the new variable?
