Thanks Vitor, I went with your enhanced syntax.

That worked!!! Thank you Vitor!

Here's the new syntax (with escaping turned on in Alfred as you suggested):

echo "* {query} ("$dt")" >> $original

I'm trying to modify the AppendText2File workflow so that if the text to be appended has a single quote inside it the workflow doesn't break.

Here's the relevant portion of the workflow:

dt=`date` 
## append to the original file
echo "* "$dt" -- "{query} >> $original

What do I do to strip out single quotes (or replace them with something bash/Alfred doesn't hate)?
