does this scriptline need escaping

Question

Very simple question, I need to know if the "query" parameter from Alfred still works My guess is, it wil not.

If so, how do you properly escape?

mysql -u [root] -p[foo] -e "create database [{query}];"

thanks

You can try it out yourself:

• use a command like echo "[{query}]" > /tmp/out
• execute the Alfred action
• open Terminal and run cat /tmp/out to see the result
