Here String Problem

What is wrong with this string declaration:

[string] $LPTicketLink = @"
<td align="center" title=''
<%# ((AlertLog)Container.DataItem).Ticket =''= null='' ? "Create Ticket"
:='' "Ticket Title: " +
((LPI.SCWeb.Business.AlertLog)Container.DataItem).Ticket.Title=''%>'>
<%# ((AlertLog)Container.DataItem).Ticket =''= null='' ? "<a href=" +
Tools.ApplicationRoot + "/TroubleTickets/NewTicket.aspx?AlertLogID=" +
((AlertLog)Container.DataItem).AlertLogID + "&Title=" +
Server.UrlEncode(((AlertLog)Container.DataItem).Alert.Title) +
">&ltCreate&gt</a>" : "<a href=" + Tools.ApplicationRoot +
"/TroubleTickets/EditTicket.aspx?TicketID=" +
((LPI.SCWeb.Business.AlertLog)Container.DataItem).Ticket.TicketID + ">ID " +
((LPI.SCWeb.Business.AlertLog)Container.DataItem).Ticket.TicketID + "</a>"%>
</td>
"@

I've tried both the single quote and double quote version, but both give me
the following error:

"Encountered end of line while processing a string token."

this is another powershell gotcha...

one of the following works and the other doesn't
$a = @"
hello
"@

$a = @"
hello
"@

whats the difference..

the space after the @"

basically with here strings.. the @" has to terminate the line

and the closing "@ has to start on a new line.. so invisible spaces kill

I checked for invisible spaces already.

I was actually wondering at one point if the line ending style could matter
(eg, CRLF vs LF)

I would, but I don't see a way to...

I checked the line endings again, both in Visual Studio and in Notepad and
they seem fine, no spaces after the @" or before the "@

are you using powershell v1, or the v2 CTP?
what is your OS locale, and installed version of powershell

I really have no clue, but am trying to see if we can narrow down why it
doesn't work on your system but works fine on ours..

Windows XP, English and v1.0.

Try copying + pasting it from your original message in this thread. I know
you've got a local copy, but don't use that. See if that makes a difference.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I can recall that in the past I couldn't write this
(each line starts with TAB):

$cmd = @"
'This is a temporary script to Restart a PowerShell Session
'Created $(Get-Date)
On Error Resume Next
Set oApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
lnk = "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows PowerShell 1.0"
PoSH = oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings(lnk)
WSCript.Sleep 1000
oApp.Namespace(PoSH).ParseName("Windows PowerShell.lnk").InvokeVerb("Open")
"@

Now when I run it, it's valid (v1.0).
