Azure subscription validation with Ansible

I would like to verify if an azure subscription exists using ansible.  I tried using az account show -s {{sub}} but it fails with an error rather than returning that the "subscription doesn't exist message". 

 

How to handle this gracefully?

 

Thanks,
RK

    It is solved with jq. Thanks!

    az account list | jq '.[] | select(.name == "{{sub_name}}")|.name'
