2792 things I hate about you

[ahenobarb]

I'm booting some SLIC code and the (last) error message I get is:

(null) 2792 syntax error.

I rooted out all the other errors, but this one gives me no clue where to look. I don't have 2792 lines of code.

2792 is the number of lines in my script.slc file.

Ummm ...

Please ignore this thread, I forgot a single close brace on my SLIC code. I spent 25 minutes trying to root this out!

You're not the first one.

Yup, programmer's rule #23: before you compile, count your blessings and your brackets

(Hint: use EditPlus or some other editor that counts the brackets for you )

Thanks for the tip, Locutus. No more counting line numbers either!

...or type the (set, quare and round) brackest first and fill them afterwards. Unfortunatly doesn't work always as there are situations you don't do it.
