// Get the username which is defined in one of your environment resources:
let username = processor.expandString('The username is ${lay:USERNAME}.');
// Output: "The username is layline.", where "layline" is the value of the USERNAME environment variable.
Check out the macro documentation for more information on how to address expandable strings.
