Question

You can t The most you can do is call ` Apply` and within the apply callback use the string but keep in mind that callback may not always run at preview time we might not know what the value of the output is at preview time

There s an example in the docs <https www pulumi com docs intro concepts inputs outputs apply> Apply takes a function delegate and passes the value of the Output lt string gt as the parameter to that delegate But keep in mind that Applys run asynchronously and may not even run during preview

< echoing dinner 19531> Are outputs only supposed to be shown in the CLI output not used in code
