Bug:In Hammer, using double quotes " as string arguments will corrupt the VMF file's structure, making the file unviewable for the next Hammer session.
Workaround:You should instead use either an apostrophe (single quote) ' or brackets [[]] to contain strings in your lua code.
Fix:To fix an unreadable .vmf broken in this way, remove the double quote manually with a text editor. [todo tested in ?]
