Hello,
Any variable names, any parameter names, any watch list names, any file names should only
contain letters a-z, A-Z, digits 0..9 and underscore _
Using anything else is really bad idea as things like asterisk, slash, backslash and other
special characters are either file-system reserved (wildcards, etc) or special formatting sequences, etc.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
