Hi 6878,

it seems like you use an invalid minus sign.

Hi 6878,

do you spot the difference: "–" and "-"?

You used the first one while the second one is expected...

Now I'm curious.

Where does one go about finding the invalid minus sign character on the keyboard to be able to enter it that way?

Alt+ 0150 = "–"  - = 0x2D don't Alt+0045 in this editor though!  It is a navagation command that goes back one page and closes your reply

You're right, you can enter it that way.

But how does someone manage to go and figure out how to do that in the script node.  That is much harder than just hitting the minus key.  You really have to work hard in order to screw up the script entry this way.

[JÞB]

My guess is the text editor used to copy the text did not know the difference or used a font the remapped - to 0150 for a better looking minus sign.

I Wonder what was the source for the text.

Your are right.mius sign made the difference.

thanks a lot
