How to silent the echo command in Jenkins pipeline when executing inside shell

Question

I'm trying to silent the echo command so that it doesn't display me the output on Jenkins console. I'm defining value of abc variable just at the beginning of pipeline. Following is the script:

steps{
  script{
     xyz = sh(script: "echo ${abc} | base64 --decode", returnStdout: true).trim()
}
}

How can I silent or hide the value of abc appearing in the console?

You mean hiding command itself? Because with `returnStdout: true` no output will be shown in console by itself. — markalex, Aug 04 '23 at 14:10

Hi @markalex - it shows me echo and then value on the Jenkins console. I want this to get executed in silent mode. — gaurav sharma, Aug 04 '23 at 14:33
