Double quotes in filePath (or fileName.pb): Unexpected compiler error

Post by Piero »

"filename".pb (or filename".pb) does not compile (nor shows properly on top of IDE tab)

Not a big problem, but can potentially generate a lot of puzzlement and swearing :)

Re: Double quotes in PB src filename

But quotes asterisk etc are NOT normally allowed for filenames
Allowed are ( ) _ - , .
And generaly only _ and - for clear and multiplatform compatibility

My guess is that contridact with some filestring since " are also used to separate strings , and internall somewhere "hit" . .
Which is also the reason to avoid in general..
