This worked, thank you Smilie

Code:
BOOKMARK=$HOME/.gtk-bookmarks
CONFIG=$HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs
DEST=$HOME/gtk-bookmarks.txt
. $CONFIG
echo "cat <<EOF" >> /tmp/$$
# copy into /tmp/$$ removing backticks and () to prevent accidental/malicious execution of commands
tr -d '`()' < $BOOKMARK >> /tmp/$$
echo "EOF" >> /tmp/$$

. /tmp/$$ > $DEST

rm /tmp/$$
cat $DEST

NAME
bookmarks - file with bookmarks (shortcuts) for mu search expressions DESCRIPTION
Bookmarks are named shortcuts for search queries. They allow using a convenient name for often-used queries. The bookmarks are are also visible as shortcuts in the mu experimental user interfaces, mug and mug2. mu supports bookmarks stored in a file called bookmarks in the mu home directory (typically, this would be ~/.mu/bookmarks). The bookmarks file is a typical key=value .ini-file, which is best shown by means of an example: [mu] inbox=maildir:/inbox # inbox oldhat=maildir:/archive subject:hat # archived with subject containing 'hat' The [mu] group header is required. For practical uses of bookmarks, see mu-find(1). LOCATION
The bookmarks file is read from <muhome>/bookmarks. Typically, this would be ~/.mu/bookmarks, but this can be influenced using the --muhome parameter for mu-find(1) and mug(1). AUTHOR
