Factorytalk passing string in parameter file

[rtragle]

Is there a way I can pass a string with spaces in the parameter file?

I want to do something like this:
#1=Water Makeup

I found a solution, but I was hoping there is a better one...

Basically, I'm using the No-break space from the character map for arial font. It works, but I have to Ctrl-V everytime I want a space

Have you tried surrounding the string with quotations?

#1="Water Makeup"

I won't promise it'll work but that would be the first thing I'd try

Press down the alt key and hold it, and then type in 32 on your numeric keypad.

Hi Folks,

Alt+3+2 (on the number pad) produces a regular space and FT View will recognize it as a space and throw a syntax error.

Try ALT+0+1+6+0 (on your number pad) to product a space that will work.

Cheers
