Problem with quote

New to Julia

Hello

I’m having trouble with using quote. I have the following piece of code embedded into a larger code

X = rand(5)
println("X outside loops is $X")
loops = quote
        println("X inside loops is $X")
    end
println(loops)
eval(loops)

The code above returns the following when embedded into my larger code

X outside loops is [0.406786, 0.0431394, 0.563856, 0.946204, 0.135217]
begin  # /home/mposs/Dropbox/Workspace/julia/MMMKnapsack/combi_k_meta.jl, line 225:
    println("X inside loops is $(X)")
end
ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: X not defined
while loading /home/mposs/Dropbox/Workspace/julia/MMMKnapsack/run_SP.jl, in expression starting on line 45

However, when run by itself, my piece of code works properly. Any hint why am I facing this? (It is hard to provide my full code here, unfortunately).

Michael.

eval evaluates in global scope.
