Following up on a post from a week or so ago, I've created a "mysql" snippet to run MySQL commands within TM. (This probably works best if you have a ~/usr/.my.cnf file configured with a default login and password on localhost.)

The snippet simply is the following: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql ${1:database} -e "${2:SELECT}" ... so I hit mysql, tab, then enter the DB name and then the command. Some sample queries are appended below.

My problem is that the output begins directly after the final " in the -e statement. What's the easiest way to insert a carriage return here? Or is this better run as a command and not a snippet?

I've already got macros to convert DESCRIBE TABLE output into all sorts of PHP elements... TM is great :)
