$
to make it a literal SH-1135The script appears to be closing a double quoted string for the sole purpose of making a dollar sign $
literal.
This will work, but a better way is to escape it with a backslash.
This allows the double quoted string to continue uninterrupted, thereby reducing the visual noise of stopping and starting quotes in the middle of a shell word.
echo "The apples are $""1 each"
eval "var=$"name
echo "The apples are \$1 each"
eval "var=\$name"
# or
var="${!name}"
