Set active layer group

[FRFR1426]

I'm making an addin for ACM and I need to set the active layer group. The only way I've found is to use the -AMLAYERGROUP on the command line.

But unfortunately my layer group has a dot in its name. And  when I set it with the sequence:

-AMLAYERGROUP
_G
_S
BAT.A <-- My group name

ACM tells me that the group name is incorrect. If I use a group name without dot, it works. I've tried to escape the dot with a backslash or a backtick, but it does not work.

*cough* You want the simplest solution?

Don't use that dot. 😛

You get to pick your names, but symbols like " . * / etc are not very flexible choices: you will get into situations where they don't work.

(Somone here at this company thought it was a good idea to name all the articles using a slash and the special ones with an added asterix 😞

Now i need to translate those away most of the time and back again after processing.)

Thanks but it's not me which choose the name. It's my customer. I've found a simple solution. I use the system variable CLAYER to make current one of the layer of the group.
