Re: unterminated string constant error

This could be caused by a hard coded CR/LF between the quotes.
One of the first things I do with my editor when this sort of thing
occures is to turn word wrapping off. This not only make it easy to find
the line number but shows up any accidental line breaks.

I use Note tab light which has this feature and is free.

Hope this helps
