The following predefined variables are supported:
    ${userHome} - the path of the user's home folder
    ${workspaceFolder} - the path of the folder opened in VS Code
    ${workspaceFolderBasename} - the name of the folder opened in VS Code without any slashes (/)
    ${file} - the current opened file
    ${fileWorkspaceFolder} - the current opened file's workspace folder
    ${relativeFile} - the current opened file relative to workspaceFolder
    ${relativeFileDirname} - the current opened file's dirname relative to workspaceFolder
    ${fileBasename} - the current opened file's basename
    ${fileBasenameNoExtension} - the current opened file's basename with no file extension
    ${fileExtname} - the current opened file's extension
    ${fileDirname} - the current opened file's folder path
    ${fileDirnameBasename} - the current opened file's folder name
    ${cwd} - the task runner's current working directory upon the startup of VS Code
    ${lineNumber} - the current selected line number in the active file
    ${selectedText} - the current selected text in the active file
    ${execPath} - the path to the running VS Code executable
    ${defaultBuildTask} - the name of the default build task
    ${pathSeparator} - the character used by the operating system to separate components in file paths
    ${/} - shorthand for ${pathSeparator}

-- Example --
Supposing that you have the following requirements:
    A file located at /home/your-username/your-project/folder/file.ext opened in your editor;
    The directory /home/your-username/your-project opened as your root workspace.
So you will have the following values for each variable:

    ${userHome} - /home/your-username
    ${workspaceFolder} - /home/your-username/your-project
    ${workspaceFolderBasename} - your-project
    ${file} - /home/your-username/your-project/folder/file.ext
    ${fileWorkspaceFolder} - /home/your-username/your-project
    ${relativeFile} - folder/file.ext
    ${relativeFileDirname} - folder
    ${fileBasename} - file.ext
    ${fileBasenameNoExtension} - file
    ${fileDirname} - /home/your-username/your-project/folder
    ${fileExtname} - .ext
    ${lineNumber} - line number of the cursor
    ${selectedText} - text selected in your code editor
    ${execPath} - location of Code.exe
    ${pathSeparator} - / on macOS or linux, \ on Windows

    Tip: Use IntelliSense inside string values for tasks.json and launch.json to get a full list of predefined variables.
