ProcessLine() and passing characters....

Hi ROOTers,

   i'm using an analysis program that can be called with a leggi() function (the prototype is leggi(int, int, int, char, char)). In order to launch multiple analysis i've created a macro file that looks like this:

{

  	gROOT->ProcessLine(".L produz_thre8.cpp++");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,0,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,1,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,2,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,3,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,4,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,5,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,6,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,7,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,8,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,9,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,10,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,11,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,12,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,13,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,14,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,15,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,16,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,17,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,18,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,19,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,20,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,21,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,22,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,23,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,24,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,25,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,26,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,27,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,28,4,"235U","FIC1")");
	gROOT->ProcessLine("leggi(8207,29,4,"235U","FIC1")");

}

Unfortunately launching this macro with
$ root -l -q < file.macro
produces this:

Error: String literal syntax error produz_thre.macro:3:
Error: String literal syntax error produz_thre.macro:3:
Error: String literal syntax error produz_thre.macro:3:
Error: String literal syntax error produz_thre.macro:3:

I can understand that it doesn't like the fact that 235U and FIC1 are with " " signs. How can i circumvent this problem?

Thanks in advance,
