    find where the missing parenthesis are?

    my class is about 800 lines on..i made some modifications about 2/3 weeks ago..i just tried to compile it, and it says "cannot find end of file", so it's most likely a missing parenthesis. BUT THERE ARE SO MANY!!!! haha, its driving me nuts. any programs you guys know of to find where there is a parenthesis missing or something?

    thanks

    most compilers these days have no trouble bracket matching. It shouldnt take too long to track down problem. Bet you'll be more careful next time!

    the easiest thing to do is to go thru it line by line delete and replace a bracket/parenthesis and the matching one should go bold.Youll soon find the problem if you go func by func.

    you could write a quick program that will go thru and count the number of opening and closing brackets to see if that is indeed the problem. =]
