Error : Expected ';' command terminator

Hello to all,

I'm new to KLayout and I created a first file that I saved in CIF.

When I open it the next day, I get the following error message:
Error : Expected ';' command terminator (line=74, cell=36 Zones)

After several searches on the net, I did not find anything. Is this problem familiar to you?

I opened the file with NotePad to check the line 74, the ';' is well present...

I tried to transcribe the text on KLayout without success.

Thanks in advance for your help,
I'm sure it's not a big deal,
but I don't know where to look.

Sincerely

    @MM_cemes No, this problem isn't familiar to me.

    After I read your post I tried to fool KLayout and actually was able to reproduce the problem by using a layer or cell name that contains a blanks or brackets. Such names cannot (to my knowledge) be represented properly in CIF. Right now, KLayout does not attempt to normalize the names as of now.

    I have created a ticket for this issue: https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/972

    So far, you should use net or cell names with only letters or digits. Maybe someone knows how to represent other names correctly in CIF. If so, let me know.

    @Matthias
    Thank you for your answer.

    and I apologize for answering so late,
    indeed I was able to locate the blank in the cell name, by removing it with the notepad, I was able to open the CIF again.

    Have a nice day

    No worries. That reminded me of polishing the cell and layer names for CIF to avoid this problem.
