Topic: Digits in Project Name
Filippo A. E. Nuccio (Aug 27 2024 at 07:35):
I am giving a talk next week and I created a new project called 04Sep24
and everything seemed to work fine until I decided to create a file myfile.lean
and import it. The line
import 04Sep24.myfile
seems to create problems (unexpected token; expected identifier
). Is there a way out (importing only myfile
does not work and I do not know how to tell " it is in your very same directory") or is it a known issue that project names should not contain/begin with digits?

Does using \f<<>>
help?
Kevin Buzzard (Aug 27 2024 at 07:36):
I think that beginning with a digit is the problem, and you can probably quote your way around it if you can remember how to do the double french quotes
Filippo A. E. Nuccio (Aug 27 2024 at 07:37):
Let me try
Kevin Buzzard (Aug 27 2024 at 07:37):
Fortunately Damiano just reminded us
Damiano Testa (Aug 27 2024 at 07:37):
(And yes, identifiers cannot start with a digit and the guillemets should be a workaround.)
Filippo A. E. Nuccio (Aug 27 2024 at 07:39):
Great, thanks! It worked, I guess the \f
has something to do with "French", right?
Damiano Testa (Aug 27 2024 at 07:39):
I think so...
Damiano Testa (Aug 27 2024 at 07:43):
I can trace the f
for French in \f<>
to this section of #tpil. I imagine that \f<<>>
has the same origin.
