error while setting bindkey

Rojalin

Hi,

I used the following code for setting entrylayer bindkey.

 procedure(entrylayer()

cv=geGetEditCellView()

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<key>1" "leSetEntryLayer(list(\"metal1\"\"drawing")cv)")

)

I am getting the following error:

SYNTAX ERROR found at line 1 column 38 of file *string*
*Error* lineread/read: syntax error encountered in input

 

Can anyone help in this.

Thanks

  • Quotes have to be balanced - if you had a string "some string including "another bit" in quotes" - the string will stop at the quotation mark before another. Then there would be some free words outside the string and then a second string " in quotes". How would the tool know that you really meant the string to encompass the entire sequence and the quotes in the middle to be embedded? This is true of pretty much every language. So, if you want to have a quote within a quote, you need to escape it. The backslash is to escape the quotation mark and stop it being treated as a quotation mark.
