bash : replace variable value inside ' '

Question

Sorry if the question is very straight forward but am a newbie to shell scripting. I am trying to write something like this :

for i in {1..20}
do
   curl \"         


        

Answer 1

Your quoting is not correct. You don't need double quotes around the second $i because the whole thing is already surrounded in double-quotes.

Change it to the following:

for i in {1..20}
do
   curl "something $i ........ -d  'something $i something'"
done
