How to insert variable into formatted text in ruby

Question

So I have a string formatted with triple quotation marks or %q{} like this and I want to insert a variable into the string; apparently using #{variable} wouldn't work.

variable = "some string" 
puts %q{
My string looks like
this and i want to show
my string here #{variable}
}

Use a big Q and it works! http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.5.1/doc/syntax/literals_rdoc.html#label-Strings — Sagar Pandya, Jun 27 '18 at 22:31

Just use uppercase "Q"

variable = "some string"
%Q{ My math #{1+1} and string #{variable}}
