Requesting help with shell script

I have been viewing man pages and using google with little luck so far. I am writing a shell script using wbemcli.

I can execute the command and get the results I need just fine.

ex. wbemcli -nl ein 'http://<username>:<password>@<host>/<targetpc>/root/wmi:MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature'

from the command line, I will get back the instances available on the target pc like so.

<host>:5988/<targetpc>/root/wmi:MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature.InstanceName="ACPI\\ThermalZone\\DTSZ_0"
<host>:5988/<targetpc>/root/wmi:MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature.InstanceName="ACPI\\ThermalZone\\BATZ_0"
<host>:5988/<targetpc>/root/wmi:MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature.InstanceName="ACPI\\ThermalZone\\CPUZ_0"
<host>:5988/<targetpc>/root/wmi:MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature.InstanceName="ACPI\\ThermalZone\\LOCZ_0"
<host>:5988/<targetpc>/root/wmi:MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature.InstanceName="ACPI\\ThermalZone\\VGAZ_0"

If an instance contains CPU, I want to grab the instance name, so I can execute the wbemcli command again to get specific property values.

The problem that I have is that the "http://..." string must be enclosed in single quotes. I have created variables in the script that will would replace the <username>, <password>, <host>, and <targetpc>, but from what I have read so far is that single quotes do no allow variable substitution.

I am not a complete noob to linux/unix, but I have never written something this complex previously. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Scott

ACPIWMI(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						ACPIWMI(4)

NAME

     acpiwmi -- Windows Management Instrumentation support for ACPI

SYNOPSIS

     acpiwmi* at acpi?
     acpiwmibus* at acpiwmi?
     wmidell* at acpiwmibus?
     wmieeepc* at acpiwmibus?
     wmihp* at acpiwmibus?
     wmimsi* at acpiwmibus?

DESCRIPTION

     The acpiwmi device driver provides an ACPI interface for Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).  The ACPI WMI interface is typically used
     to support vendor specific features found in various laptops.

     The following WMI mappings are supported:

	   wmidell   Dell laptops

	   wmieeepc  Some models of Asus Eee PC

	   wmihp     Hewlett-Packard laptops

	   wmimsi    MSI laptops

     The functionality varies from vendor to vendor.  Typically the interface is used for function and hotkey handling, but additional features
     may be present.

HISTORY

     The acpiwmi device driver appeared in NetBSD 6.0.

AUTHORS

     Jukka Ruohonen <jruohonen@iki.fi> wrote acpiwmi and most of the mappings.

CAVEATS

     While WMI should provide a certain degree of portability across laptop models from a particular vendor, there is no guarantee that the map-
     pings are functional in all models.

     The wmihp driver may conflict with hpqlb(4).
