[ICEM] invalid command name "13"

Hello ICEM users,

I get this error message at the last stage of my grid generation process in ICEM while setting up the solver. It saves the project but doesn't generate my .msh file. It only gives .uns file. I was doing a simple 2D airfoil mesh.

invalid command name "13"

I've been trying hard and googling as well but I can't seem to find what the problem is. Hoping someone here knows whats wrong. I'd appreciate it a lot.
Thanks!

Finally figured it out.....
For anyone who's stumbled upon the same problem.... The problem lies in the naming of the working folder or any of its parent folder.
Make a clean folder with only letters and numeric in the desktop and start the project in that folder, it should work out fine.
The .msh file so generated can then be copied to other folders and simulations performed. It should work just fine.
Good luck!
