Encountered end of line while processing a string token

11-14-2006

I don't want to share the entire code because it is from Bruce Payette's
upcoming book.

I'd had a hard time copy and paste the code. Without sharing the whole
code, does this provide any insight as to what is wrong?

PS C:\> .\psa1.ps1
Encountered end of line while processing a string token.
At C:\psa1.ps1:5 char:5
+ @" <<<<
PS C:\> gc psa1.ps1|select-object -first 10
param($port=80)
[void][reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Net.Sockets")
function html ($content,$title = "Sample Page")
{
@"
<html>
<head>
<title>$title</title>
</head>
<body>

Since it is a function, I guess the error could also be anywhere near where
the function is called?

non-ASCII probably... Loaded the file with DOS/edit. I'm still having
problems though:
PS C:\> .\psa1.ps1
Incomplete 'here string' token.
At C:\psa1.ps1:5 char:5
+ @" <<<<

What's the trick to really see the content of a file and be able to pick out
non-ASCII? I tried this while 'grasping at straws':
gc psa1.ps1|out-file -encoding ascii psa2.ps1

@" and "@ and really cool in that everything between its treated
totally as literal. regardless of how many " ' ` or any other special
character... but its quite pedantic in that @" and "@ have to EACH BE
ON THEIR OWN LINE WITH NOTHING ELSE, or it will error out.... so with
that being the case

@"
hello
"@

will work, while the following 3 will not work

@"hello"@

@"hello
"@

@"
hello"@

so Marco, what company do you work for?

There still must be some non-ASCII in my code damn it! Maybe if I view the
file in UNIX or something! Even my ouput error seems to have non-ASCII in
it, and I can't strip it!

I'm assuming klumsy@gmail isn't valid... I'd prefer not to post this here
unless I was trying to promote something.

You can ask me at marcoDOTshaw@ZZZgmailDOTcom. ;-)

Marco,

Try it after deleting all the whitespace characters before @" on line
5.

Marco,

Given the source of the code, perhaps it would be worth also posting
the question at http://www.manning-sandbox.com/forum.jspa?forumID=248
