I’m trying to make some Load combination rules where some load case names include ‘+’ and ‘-’. This causes problems especially when combined with ‘|’ character. Is there a way to escape these characters in the rules like with a backlash or quotes? See screenshot below. You see that the X gets split out as if it were a separate load case. I would expect to get:
TEST/0 = 1.2*LC01_Wind-X
TEST/1 = 1.2*LC02_Wind+X
Hello @Erron_Estrado,
currently (V3.1) it is not possible to escape “+” and “-” in the names of load-cases. This would be a useful feature. I have to check ho it could be done best. Maybe the simplest option is to allow “…” to wrap arbitrary letters.

Yes it would be very helpful indeed. Perhaps also wrapping a whole name with “…” or quotes makes Karamba read it literally and not look for symbols. Eg. in my case I would input: TEST = 1.2 * (“LC01_Wind-X” | “LC02_Wind+X”)
