Strings are used in MaxL statements to represent the text of comments, member expressions, calculation scripts, and file references. Strings can begin with any valid character. As with names, strings containing white space or special characters must be enclosed in single quotation marks.
See Rules for Names for a list of valid special characters.
Table 163 shows examples of statement elements that are strings:
