Brace errors are making a comeback

[derekmorton]

I have just scanned my system for brace errors, something I do from time to time.

I found 50 files with brace errors.

In the past brace errors have been responsible for:-

no brakes in wagon files,
some sounds not working in sms files,
other strange problems.

What Utility do you use to scan for brace errors...what is your method?
ConText will show brace errors, but it is file-by-file no scanning capabilities.
Is it something built into coding?

[derekmorton]

I use engmod to scan for brace errors, I don't think any other utility checks for these errors.

Hi Derek,
Your link doesn't work for me - neither does Gerry's!!
This one works : https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/tslib....ight&fid=10461

Curious, must be how the site is set up, Ged your link takes me directly to the download page, my link still goes to file page immediately before the download link page - description of file...Derek's still does not work for me.

Derek, I just tried the Bracket Check function, works just fine...would you consider adding an exclude folder or folders function?

More information about your specific request?

How many file with brace errors?

And this is why notepad++ is the way to go for editing things, especially because OR won't throw a fit like MSTS did to let you know something was wrong.

While debugging the brace errors in the include file I have discovered a bug in OR.
When there is a problem in the inc file, OR points to the line in the eng file which points to the inc file.
OR needs to point to the line in the inc file with the error.
I need to set up the error again so I can report the bug.

While pursuing my adventure in "include files" I noticed the same thing...did not know enough about OR to connect the dots like you did.
It needs fixing because as it is --- it is an rather round-about impediment to diagnosing the problem and finding a fix.
Thanks Derek.
