Reading environment variables

I have a groovy scripts which needs to fetch two env variables say A and B set by me. How can i access it. I tried it with context.expand('${#Env#windir}' ) but does not work.

I would like to read an environment variable from within a groovy test step.

I saw this posting: http://www.soapui.org/userguide/properties.html

I tried to follow this as an example and wrote the following, but I think my formatting is off:

def value = "${#Env#windir}";

I get an ugly error, I assume to be complaining about the "#"
