[SOLVED] Inserting shell script variable into xml

Issue

I would like to use a shell script variable to add it to the xml code, but I can't find the way how to do it.

variable="1234"
-X '<delete_target target_id="iwantvariablehere"/>'

Solution

You can embed variables in double-quoted stings, like so:

"<delete_target target_id=\"$variable\"/>"

Embedding variables will not work if you use single-quoted strings!
