Escaping input in queries

[ghost]

I find that running Gremlin queries with grammes, that the library requires the query to be escaped already.

Could it be an idea to sanity check the input or should this be left to the user?

This is just a quick and dirty variant, but something like this seems to work for me:

func escape(w string) string {
   w = strings.Replace(w, "\\","\\\\",-1)
	   w = strings.Replace(w, "\n","\\\n",-1)
   w = strings.Replace(w, "@","\\\\@",-1)
   w = strings.Replace(w, "$","\\$",-1)
   w = strings.Replace(w, "[","\\\\[",-1)
   w = strings.Replace(w, "]","\\\\]",-1)
   w = strings.Replace(w, "!","\\\\!",-1)
   w = strings.Replace(w, "'","\\\\'",-1)
   //w = strings.Replace(w, "(","\\\\(",-1)
   //w = strings.Replace(w, ")","\\\\)",-1)
   w = strings.Replace(w, "*","\\\\*",-1)
   w = strings.Replace(w, "\"","\\\"",-1)
   return w
}
