Waves Average Panel - cannot name an output average wave with a decimal point

Hello,

I’m using IgorPro 7.04 (32bit) on a macOS system.
I’ve noticed that in the Average Waves package I cannot use a decimal point for the output average wave name, for example: charge0.4_avg (bad).
However, this name is OK: charge0_4_avg

I get an error message stating:
expected wave name.
Error in Execute: AppendToGraph charge0.4_avg

Is there a simple fix that I can write in the package?
According to the Debug button the error is located in line before 836, maybe in 833?

Cheers,
Yonatan
Have a look at the naming convention in Igor.
displayhelptopic "Wave Names"
There might be a couple of possiblyquotename() 'missing'.

Indeed this posting should be in the General Forum.

To answer your question, yes, the solution is to change line 833 to:

String AppCom = "AppendToGraph"+AFlags+" "+PossiblyQuoteName(AveWaveName)+XWaveInfo

Dear HJDrescher and Jim,

Sorry for the mix up with the forums.
I'll repost this in the General forum.
