Error loading file

[confitex architure]

Hello,
When I try to launch a newly written script, at sketchup startup, I get the following message that means Error loading file...

@unknownuser said:

^Erreur de chargement du fichier insertc.rb
C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/insertc.rb:210: syntax error name = "insertc.rb"

I see no reason it happens because I've launched it once and at the second launch, it failed.
Please, I need your help
Thank you.

What does line 210 of the script say ?

Perhaps give a few lines either side too - you don't need to give away the whole script if you don't want to...

   name = "insertc.rb" #this one is line 210
   unless file_loaded?(name)
      menu = UI.menu("Plugins")
      menu.add_item("insertc") { Sketchup.active_model.select_tool InCompo.new }
      file_loaded(name)
   end

I also have these alerts...

I'm editing my script in notepad++

I don't see any reason why that happens

There were something wrong with a previous UI.messagebox, mabey a quote problem, I don't realy realize...

	UI.messagebox "Added Bed"
end #if

end #Place_Component

Although the SUp Ruby API doesn't stress it, I think it's safer to put things into () after a method:

So UI.messagebox "A message..." becomes UI.messagebox("A message..."), you are then more likely to spot errors like missing quote closing.

If you are using Notepad++ (I do too) then set up your Ruby format defaults to say have any strings in red - then if you miss off a closing " everything afterwards is coloured red and stands out as wrong...
