WARNING (Parser): character found after backslash is not meaningful - '\$'

Dear AB, (i mean All Buddies, not necessary Andrew B. :-)

I try to play a bit with auto-creation of a user library :

path=if(getShellEnvVar("PRJ_DIR") "\${PRJ_DIR}/cds/design" "./")
lib=dbCreateLib(userLib path) techSetTechLibName(lib getShellEnvVar("ATTACH_LIB")||"SG13_dev") ddUpdateLibList()

Although, the two lines are evaluate and results in the correct creation of the library and its input in cds.lib as : DEFINE 65n_ebecheto ${PRJ_DIR}/cds/design

The CIW windows blame me of an error :

path=if(getShellEnvVar("PRJ_DIR") "\${PRJ_DIR}/cds/design" "./")
^^
PARSER WARNING at line 25 column 36 of file *ciwInPort*
*WARNING* (Parser): character found after backslash is not meaningful - '\$'

I tried to mute the error with er=errset("\${PRJ_DIR}/cds/design" nil) for instance, but is still throw the error.

Any one already faced this behaviour ?

I'm not sure why you are trying to escape the $, but "\$" doesn't mean anything in SKILL, hence the error. You either need to use "${PRJ_DIR}..." or "\\${PRJ_DIR}..." if you need an escape character there for some reason. Having checked it, I don't think you want the backslash at all...

indeed, i did not need the backslash at all in the case. I had twisted my mind for unnecessary reasons. Thanks
