CONTENTS command

I've had this happen several times before, but I just realized why.

 

Accordance makes it easy to display the contents of a Reference List in a Search pane via the CONTENTS command. When using this command to display the contents of a Reference List with a custom name ending with a period (.), Accordance returns the following error message:

 

"A close bracket ']' character is missing. Each open bracket '[' must be followed by a corresponding close bracket ']'."

 

I think this happens because a period (.) in a search string prompts Accordance to search for the character immediately following the period. When the character immediately following the period is an end bracket (])

I think your analysis is correct, and it is not worth trying to program around this. It is the consequence of a relatively new feature (the single character search) combined with an old command.

I don't think it is a genuine problem
