PBASIC Syntax Question

[Raven_Writer]

I'm not sure why this happening, but in my PBASIC editor, whenever I try to download the code (for testing), it always returns an error "201 - Expecting '}'", and here's the only thing I have in the code:
'{$STAMP BS2}

Even when I use the default code given, it still returns this error.

Anyone have an idea why this is happening?

<<EDIT>>: If I use the code from RoboEmu (File -> Write Code) in my program, it gives this error, but in the Parallax one it is perfect :<</EDIT>>

You're talking about the editor you're writing, right? My guess is that you're sending the wrong buffer length to the tokenizer.

Yes, I am

I don't know if this will help, but here is the code I use to tokenize the code:

void CMainFrame::OnDlcode() 
{
	CMainFrame *pFrame = (CMainFrame*) AfxGetMainWnd();    // Get frame window class
	CFIRSTEditorView *pView = (CFIRSTEditorView*) pFrame->GetActiveView();
	
	char *szBuffer = new char[66356];
	
	// Use if below fails to do memory right: char *szBuffer = new char[pView->GetWindowTextLength()];     // New 'char' pointer array based on window text length
	pView->GetWindowText(szBuffer, pView->GetWindowTextLength());     // Get view window text

	tModRec.SourceSize = strlen(szBuffer);

	Compile(&tModRec, szBuffer, false, true);

	if(tModRec.Succeeded == true){
		StatusBarMessage("Tokenize successful!"); // Tell the user it went smoothly
	}
	else{
		StatusBarMessage(tModRec.Error);
	}

	delete [] szBuffer;
}

char *szBuffer = new char[66356]; <-- 66356 is max amount of text that the TModuleRec source buffer can hold

pView->GetWindowText(szBuffer, pView->GetWindowTextLength()); // Get view window text <-- For some reason, I got a feeling it has to deal w/ this, or the szBuffer part.

This is in MFC also.

<<EDIT>>: I forgot to say that I was using the wrong way to do the STAMP, it's ' {$STAMP BS2p}, not ' {$STAMP S2p} :<</EDIT>>

Are you sure szBuffer contains the whole thing? Trying doing a

MessageBox(NULL, szBuffer, "Test", MB_OK);

and see what it spits out.

Sadly, it doesn't << cries >>.

Thanks for the help on that (should've known to do a test on that). Now to figure out why (which I have an idea).

<< EDIT >>: I found out why...it was because of the SETSEL LPARAM section was probably to small, and plus I needed a space after the '}' in my code for it to register it (argh!)

<< EDIT 2 >>: I can get it compile or whatever way you think of it (tokenize). Now, does anyone have a thing on making a progress bar move? (Sorry, MSDN is really buggin' me right now). If you wanna know, I used to get the 157 error. But I had to set the first compile boolean to true in order to tokenize successfully. Thanks for all your help people
