Generic error in MPLAB

#include '

I didn't pay enough attention to this when I first saw it. The initial diagnoses of the extraneous semicolon were correct, so far as they went. However, there's a more fundamental problem here that I just noticed:

Why did someone edit the main.c file in the first place? User code typically doesn't go there; it goes in other files. If you can't understand the error messages immediately, you really shouldn't be messing with the code in that file. It contains a clear warning right at the top: You should not need to modify this file.

I'm also a little worried by your description of a rookie programmer "randomly deleting" a character. C programming should not be done by trial and error. rfrank gave you exactly the answer you needed in order to correct the problem, and Roger confirmed it. Rather than following their advice, however, you instead tried something "randomly" and got a new error -- but one that is also addressed by the original answer. Next time you ask for help, it would probably be more productive for you to pay closer attention to the responses.
