I think he/she means correcting existing code, rather than languages that don''t require semicolons or other delimiters.

There''s not really a quick and easy solution - work in a more structured manner, with more frequent compiles, and split your code up into modules.

If it''s pointing to the last bracket (of the main function) then presumably there are either unpaired curly brackets for previous functions, or you really have missed out semicolons somewhere. Go back and look - nearly every line should have one.

Or use an editor such as SciTE to check your brackets (go to each end bracket, and if it''s red or doesn''t match the correct one you''ve found an error).

thanks, i''ll look into the SciTE program.

Thanks a lot for pointing me to the SciTE program, i haven''t fixed the problem yet but i can see it will help greatly, just what i was looking for.
