MEL Script help (Beginner)

Hi guys, This is my first post here on this forum. I am very excited about learing Maya and I hope there people here who can help me along the way.

Right now I study Online courses about rigging and they did use a MEL script that I thing chould be useful. But when I copy the exact MEL script over to the Script Editor in Maya (2014), I get an error.

Can some kind soul help me with this error? What did I do wrong? I double and triple checked the script they use in the Online Coures, and I can't for my life find any difference.

Thanks in advance.

The script:
Code:
//cOBJ - center object between selection...
pointConstraint;
//Find the object to center (last selection)...
string $grabEnd[] = `sl -sl -tl l;
//Remove its point constraint...
string $findPtCns[] = `listRelatives -type pointConstraint $grabEnd`;
select $findPtCns; doDelete;
Error from the console:
Code:
//cOBJ - center object between selection...
pointConstraint;
//Find the object to center (last selection)...
string $grabEnd[] = `sl -sl -tl l;
//Remove its point constraint...
string $findPtCns[] = `listRelatives -type pointConstraint $grabEnd`;
select $findPtCns; doDelete;
// Error: string $grabEnd[] = `sl -sl -tl l; // 
// Error: Line 4.34: Syntax error //
