Syntax error for grass aim

Hey guys, I'm currently running through Modelling Outdoor Environments and I'm trying to write the script for the aimAxis of the grass. I've rewritten it a hundred times but one line keeps giving me a syntax error. Aside from the name of the plane, everything is the same as what David is instructing.

vector $nrm = 'nearestPointOnMesh -ip ($p.x) ($p.y) ($p.z) -normal -q plane_ground';

Sorry i should have made it clearer.

it's not
vector $nrm = '

It is
vector $nrm = `

use this `
not this '

All the best
David
