Yes, CDATA should work. The following works in Flex:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009";
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
<mx:TextArea width="500" height="500">
<mx:text>
<![CDATA[
"for machine in $(pfexec VBoxManage list runningvms | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | sed
's/"//g'); do pfexec VBoxManage showvminfo $machine | grep
"Memory size:" | sed 's/^.* \([0-9]*\)MB$/\1/g' ; done | awk
'{sum+=$1/1024.0}END{printf "Running: %d GB\n", sum}'; for
machine in $({ pfexec VBoxManage list vms | grep -v Template; pfexec
VBoxManage list runningvms; } | sort | uniq -u | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | sed
's/"//g'); do pfexec VBoxManage showvminfo $machine | grep
"Memory size:" | sed 's/^.* \([0-9]*\)MB$/\1/g' ; done | awk
'{sum+=$1/1024.0}END{printf "Other: %d GB\n", sum}';"
]]>
</mx:text>
</mx:TextArea>
</mx:Application>
The only thing you have to escape in CDATA is "]]>". (You would replace
it with "]]]]><![CDATA[>".)
I've opened compiler issue #213. The problem is that it thinks things
like "{sum}" are data binding. (And newlines are being lost, too, if
you have other text.)
