  1. Write-Host "The value is: $my_variable"
  2. 3. Examples:
  3. Using a variable in a file path:
  4. Code
  5.  
  6. directory="my_directory"
  7. filename="my_file.txt"
  8. full_path="$directory/$filename"
  9. echo "The full path is: $full_path"
  10. Using a variable in a command-line argument:
  11. Code
  12.  
  13. port="8080"
  14. java -jar my_app.jar -p $port
  15. 4. Considerations:
  16. Quoting: When dealing with variables containing spaces, special characters, or command substitutions, it's often necessary to quote the variable to ensure it is treated correctly. Double quotes are generally preferred in Bash because they allow for command substitution within the value:
  17. Code
  18.  
  19. variable_with_spaces="This variable has spaces"
  20. echo "The value is: $variable_with_spaces"
  21. Command Substitution: You can also use command substitution to assign the output of a command to a variable:
  22. Code
  23.  
  24. current_directory=$(pwd)
  25. echo "The current directory is: $current_directory"
  26. Environment Variables: You can also use environment variables. They are typically uppercase and prefixed with a dollar sign (e.g., $PATH, $HOME).
  27. Code
  28.  
  29. echo "My home directory is: $HOME"
