try this:
engine.executeCommand("(assert (conventionalAddress (number_prefix
NIL) (street_number 48) (street_name Marlow) (street_type Street)
(suburb_name Wembley) (city_name Perth) (state_name \"Western
Australia\") (post_code 6014) ))");
If you read Ernest's reply you'll find that he has already suggested it.

Subject: Re: JESS: "assert" statements that have slots with multi-word
strings
Perhaps a better question would be whether this should work:
engine.executeCommand("(assert (conventionalAddress (number_prefix
NIL) (street_number 48) (street_name Marlow) (street_type Street)
(suburb_name Wembley) (city_name Perth) (state_name "Western
Australia") (post_code 6014) ))");
Specifically, the state_name slot. All I want to do is store the state
name Western Australia as a string in the slot. But when I don't use
quotation makrs the compiler does not compile and when I do use them
it also doesn't compile. If I use just one word (e.g. state_name WA)
it works fine. What is the proper way to contain more than 1 word in a
string slot?
Thanks,
Matt
