Syntax Error MEL listRelatives

[Anonymous]

I've got a MEL script that I'm trying to get to work, but it keeps dying on this line of code. I've isolated this line of code and it throws a syntax error:

string $objList[] = 'listRelatives -s -path "nexus"';

Below is the full code that I'm using. I'm trying to get the listRelatives function to work. I'm using it in another 1000+ lines of code and it throws an error, that's why I've isolated it in this manner. I'm using the example listed here to validate the function works:

sphere -n "nexus";

instance -n "ball";

string $objList[] = 'listRelatives -s -path "nexus"';

listRelatives -allParents $objList[0];

Hi,

you are using the wrong characters. You are using ' but you must use `!

string $objList[] = `listRelatives -s -path "nexus"`;
