passsing variable to conditional xpath expression returns null whereas passing value gives result

[iamihgam]

I have a variable say x which can take any integer value.

When I try to pass the value directly (say, x=0) instead of variable as below, I get respective nodes

root_unitgroup %>% xml_find_all("//*[@dataSetInternalID = '0']")

however, if I pass variable as below , I get empty node, or null value if I use xml_find_first instead .

root_unitgroup %>%  xml_find_all("//*[@dataSetInternalID = '$x']")
