I am using square brackets as a predicate in an eXist xquery which works bu fails in submission from xForms because of the square bracket.  I found this post but maybe I do not understand something because using encode-for-uri does not do anything.  Here is my submission:

<xforms:submission id="psiSearch" method="get"
action="http://localhost:8600/exist/rest/db/?_query=declare namespace xmldb='http://exist-db.org/xquery/xmldb'; 
let $resources := for $x in xmldb:get-child-resources('/db/CJPSIS/completedPSI')[contains(., '000000029098')]
return &lt;file&gt;{{$x}}&lt;/file&gt;
return &lt;files&gt;{{$resources}}&lt;/files&gt;"
replace="instance" instance="searchResults"  xxforms:username="XXXX" xxforms:password="XXXXXX!" validate="false">

<xforms:message ev:event="xforms-submit-error" level="modal">exist call failed</xforms:message>

</xforms:submission>

How do I escape the square brackets above for the predicate?  Thank you.
