Why is the terminal output of environment variables, like "echo %PRIVATE

I was trying to echo value of a variable in my env variable in Windows. I successfully echoed it using this command in cmd echo %PRIVATE_KEY% but couldn't output the value in my vscode terminal ...using the same command

According to the documentation, this line should do the trick :

echo ${env:PRIVATE_KEY}

CodePudding user response：

{
  "key": "alt e",               // whatever keybinding you want
  "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
  "args": {
    "text": "echo ${env:PRIVATE_KEY}"
    // "text": "${env:PATH}"
  },
}

Those values won't resolve unless you go through the sendSequence command to send them to the terminal.
