its been writen 1000 times on this forum,i used the search function,used 3-4 programs,none of them worked,except one that has told me im missing 3 brackets but the lines it gave me were wrong i could identify missing brackets there.

any other way to find missing brackets besides the non-working programs?

ty in advance

Does the compiler report the missing bracket? I've always been under the impression that the Pawn compiler already had a more-than-acceptable lint system, unless it is misinterpreting your bracket structure.

Are you using the built-in Pawn compiler or a different compiler? How long did the compilation time stretch to before you force quit it? Can you show me your header (includes) from the script?

EDIT: Nevermind, I see what your actual issue is. How about using the Pawn pre-processor directive #endinput before certain functions begin? You said that a program reports 3 missing brackets. How about you throw an #endinput before the function that contains those 3 missing brackets and see if it compiles properly?

See more information on Pawn pre-processor directives. Ctrl + F to #endinput.

Check your last modification you've done before making the script not able to compile, and match each brace with its pair, you'll easily find the missing brace if the code is clean, nicely indented.

yes it is intented correctly,the problem is that it has 50k lines and i dont know what thing i added last because its a project i didnt work on for months.

Try to find any backup from before. And anytime I was having missing brackets compiler gave me a lot of errors like 20 undefinied symbols
