Compilation error

During the compilation of my project, I had the following message: "Error (275021): Illegal wire or bus name" "of type signal" I'm a beginner in the software and I'm not sure what to do to fix this...

    Hi,
    schematic entry is really legacy and has many trapdoors. As suggested, it would be a good idea to switch to HDL entry.

    You managed to type space as connector name somewhere in the schematic. Best way to find such errors to open .bdf file in text editor and search for illegal " " name. You'll find this connector (connection wire) entry.

    (connector
	(text " " (rect 2504 846 2521 848)(font "Intel Clear" )(vertical))
	(pt 2520 864)
	(pt 2520 784)
)

    Simply delete line starting with "(text" and save.

    Alternatively use the xy coordinates to navigate to the element in schematic editor and correct therein.

    Regards

    Frank
