grompp cryptic error message - Redmine #2911

Archive from user: Cathrine Bergh

I got a syntax error from one of my files when running gromp The message was a bit cryptic. Would it be possible to specify e.g. what character caused the problem? The solution was to change ’ into ", but that took a while to realize…

Program: gmx grompp, version 2018
Source file: src/gromacs/gmxpreprocess/topio.cpp (line 705)

Fatal error:
Syntax error - File topol_Protein_chain_B.itp, line 56256
Last line read:
‘#include ’posre_Protein_chain_B.itp’ ’
