Hi,
I sometimes find myself looking for misplaced and missing brackets for a long time, as context may given errors about a completely different location.
For example this one took me a while
\goto{\url[localhost20381}[url(localhost20381)]
(missing ] after this localhost20381).
Is there a SciTE or Notepad++ or command line script that anyone wrote to help with this? It can be more or less sophisticated, but I found that missing / mismatched { [ ] } give the most confusing errors.
Thanks,
Best regards/vriendelijke groeten
Gilbert

It can be more or less sophisticated, but I found that missing / mismatched { [ ] } give the most confusing errors. A lot of (most?) programming editors do paren checking, at least in that they show which paren matches the one the cursor is on. Maybe you can simply switch it on/off per language in your editor? (It’s been a while since I tried SciTE...)

It can be more or less sophisticated, but I found that missing / mismatched { [ ] } give the most confusing errors. I wrote the attached Python script a while ago to catch cases like this, where an opening bracket accidentally ‘contains’ the whole rest of the file. The script just keeps a running count of the nesting level, and gives the number of the last line where the nesting level was zero. Usually the offending bracket is at or very close to that line. It does that same for \start... and \stop..., in a very stupid way (i.e. just counts them without identifying them, wouldn't catch e.g. \startonething \stopsomeotherthing).

Of course it makes no difference at present, but one day some unlucky person will try to use the function elsewhere. The script was written in a hurry, as you may guess.
