Again, the error message thrown is too general and not specific. Error messages can be correct but not specific enough (e.g., it says the input is 'invalid' without giving the reason, or gives too many possible reasons without pointing out the specific reason). As a new user, I would expect a more specific error message to help me sort the problem quickly

Team's Response

The error message states the detailed command format so the user can make the appropriate corrections. Hence it is specific enough. The reason for the error is also displayed Invalid command format. For the team to give a much more specific error message, a lot more effort needs to be put in which is not required as mentioned by the website
