RE: Missing Bracket

[Mark Anderson]

I would guess that you are missing a curly bracket '}' somewhere in your
program, but the program doesn't realize it until the end.  The only way to
find it that I know of is to use good spacing in your program and walk
through { by { looking to make sure that it's paired correctly.

Hi all. I am sorry to post a question such stupid as this one, but it has me
stumped. I have a fairly long perl program that gives me the following error
when I run it.

Missing right bracket at ./a.pl line 877, at end of line
syntax error at ./a.pl line 877, at EOF
Execution of ./a.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

I am assuming the bracket is the square bracket (]). 877 is the last line of
my program and I can't seem to find anywhere that I am missing a right
bracket. Is there an sure-fire way to figure it out? Thanks.

If you have no '{}'s in mid-line comments, you could -


#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my ($open, $close) = (0,0);
while(  ) {
$open += () = $_ =~ m'{'g unless /^#/;;
$close += () = $_ =~ m'}'g unless /^#/;
}
print Opens: $open\nCloses: $close\n;
# bracket_check.pl  filename
