Processing Gitlab variables with CLI tools

What I'm trying to do is getting user's first name to be displayed ($GITLAB_USER_NAME variable stores users' names as: Lastname, Firstname, so e.g. Jones, Indiana):

deploy_to_server:
  stage: deploy
  when: manual
  script:
    - touch report.txt
    - printf "Hello $($GITLAB_USER_NAME | awk '{ print $2 }').\n" >> report.txt
    - cat report.txt

Any clue how to process the variable with awk so that it gives the desired output, Hello Indiana?

It turns out, in this case printf could be replaced with echo:

deploy_to_server:
  stage: deploy
  when: manual
  script:
    - touch report.txt
    - echo "Hello $GITLAB_USER_NAME" | awk '{ print $1 " " $3 ".\n\n" }' >> report.txt
    - cat report.txt

awk takes the first and the third column from the echoed string ([1]Hello [2]Jones, [3]Indiana), then I also added a space between words, and period followed by two newline characters.

In the end, the whole printout looks like this:

Hello Indiana.
