two questions about expdp

1. In parameter file, would like to specify many (say 100) table names. The old exp would accept a list like this in a parameter file: tables=(table1
   ,table2
   ,table3
   ,table4)
   

expdp doesn't require parentheses, so I tried tables=table1
,table2
,table3

but expdp returns

ORA-39001: invalid argument value
ORA-39071: Value for NAME_EXPR filter is badly formed.
ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated

Tried putting all table names on a single line, same result. I am able to get it to work when the list of tables is much smaller, though. Didn't find anything on MetaLink. Anyone had experience with this?

2. How to specify a query clause of the form column='literal'? I have tried various combinations of single quotes, double quotes, and double single quotes, so far with no luck; expdp returning "SQL command not properly ended".

Thanks in advance,
