How to use \ref Inside lstlistings

Question

How can I use \ref inside lstlisting.

I create two lstlistings, e.g. listing1 and listing2. Now, in the third lstlisting, I want to give a reference to them. But when I do, I do not get the reference of listing1 and listing2.

Here is the code I am using.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}

\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}
Example 
"Listing 1": \ref={listing1},
"Listing 2": \ref{listing2}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}

listing1 and listing2 are the labels I defined in other listings and they work fine when I reference them within the section.

Here is the output I am getting:

Answer 1

you can define an escapechar (in my example it's %). Everything between two of these chars whill be interpreted as LaTeX code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}

\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}[escapechar=\%]
Example 
"Listing 1": %\label{listing1}%
"Listing 2": %\label{listing2}%
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}
