Can I use variable as argument in action routine?

I'm trying to write a little macro to delete all occurrences of selected text in a file. Something simple like:

$selected = get_selection()
replace_all("$selected", "", "literal")

I've tried a number of variations of this with no luck.

I seem to be getting the selection OK, but the replace_all routine seems to be using the string $selected, rather than the value of the current selection substituted for the variable $selected.

Should I be able to use a macro variable for an argument in an action routine?

Thanks in advance.
