I am running the following command:

cardano-cli transaction build-raw
–fee 300000
–tx-in b64a9162d91edb861c353fae574983e19d8653bb590ed7b0aad84fb5378ca512#0
–tx-out addr_test1vrftgrk8vu246nxc24c9594ajac9565yle7w584d0nsf2esfkh7ja+0+“1000000 $policyid.Testtoken + 1000000 $policyid.SecondTesttoken”
–mint “1000000 $policyid.Testtoken + 1000000 $policyid.SecondTesttoken”
–minting-script-file policy/policy.script
–out-file matx.raw

I get this error:

option --tx-out:
unexpected ‘.’
expecting space, letter or digit, white space, “+” or end of input

Build a transaction (low-level, inconvenient)

Can someone identify what I have done wrong?

What the error says: There is a dot, where it is not supposed to be in the option --tx-out.

What your --tx-out looks like:

The only dots are between the policy ID and the asset names. They are allowed there, but the conclusion is: You haven’t set the variable policyid!

If $policyid is empty the strings after the amount start with a dot and that is not allowed.

Set the policy ID variable correctly before you do this transaction build call.
