File will not run in EMC

when i would get ..... the same message "nested comment found" when I attempt to run the machine.
i would look for (start( a message)) don't think you can have double parentheses. only (start)

I realized that it is poor etiquette and keeping with my poor programming practices ( I prefer not to do it this way ) I deleted the first 3 or 4 lines in the .nc file and the program ran. ?????????????

I wish that I knew what I was doing.

Please advise

Unfortunately, unless you post the file , or at least the start of it, we cannot assist you.

The output from CAM programs is often poor, no 'punctuation' or spacing etc. which makes it quite hard to read.

I was always taught that you should never mix comments with code.
If that were adhered to, the interpreter could just ignore any line with a ; or ( character, which would make life a lot simpler for all.

Excuse me..........Should be here now.



Thank you

Nothing attached - try changing the extension to .txt, it will allow anything with that extension

Hopefully this attached

The only other thing to be aware of is that CamBam is terminating the program with M30 rather than M2.

In some controllers this simply means stop and rewind, but it is subtly different with Linuxcnc
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.5/html/gcode/m-code.html#sec:M2-M30

Probably won't make any difference just be aware of it

Many thanks for all your input. Andy hit the nail on the head with the advice of changing the deleting the ( ) 's
