Histogram with a space in the name

ROOT

Hi,

How do you generally work at the prompt with histograms that have one or more spaces in the name?

For example,
root [3] the\ hist\ name->Draw()
doesn’t work. What to do instead?

In C++ you can not have variable/pointer identifiers with blanks.
Simplify your problem and remove the blanks.

Hi,

If you really need the white space in the histogram names, then you will need to retrieve the histogram explicitly:TH1 *myhist; gDirectory->GetObject("the hist name",myhist);

Cheers,
