| I just got the following error when saving my script:
Error number: -2146827282
Event: Execution of line 1577 column 20
Description: Expected ')'
Called by: Immediate execution
The problem for me, is that I just added a whole pile of subroutines into the script, and the error code given above only serves as an "approximation" of where the error is located. Why do I say that?
The line number does NOT count comment lines. By line 15xx, I have very many comment lines in my script.
I would like to suggest:
The error handler count comment lines, thus giving an accurate event location.
OR
The error handler echoes the error line.
I realize that the first suggestion may not be practical/possible, because the error occurs during compilation... and there is no point looking at comment lines during compilation. Heopfully, you could at least implement the second option though... |

| Are you sure it doesn't count comment lines? I think the line number is supposed to be accurate, it is reported from the script engine (eg. vbscript.dll) which I can't alter.
Possibly the problem is that you have line wrapping enabled in the notepad, that will throw out the line counts.
Turn off line wrapping as a notepad option (or use an editor that lets you do that) and then the line count should be accurate. Otherwise each wrapped line counts as a "line" in the notepad, but not a line to the script engine, as the wrapping is "soft".
Possibly that discrepancy is what is making you think comment lines are not counted. |

| Eek!
You were absolutely correct! I hate reporting errors that are *my* screw-ups. LOL!
I turned off Wordwrap in my text editor, then entered gibberish on a new line (near the end of my file), and the error handler reported the same line my text editor indicated. :)
I use a text editor called "MetaPad", if anyone is curious. |
