Need help with bracket counter for project

[foamy]

That's probably because there's a starting bracket ({) in the beginning of the file that doesn't have an ending bracket. Remove it and try again.

EDIT: That's part of the test file? In the original file, remove the brackets that are enclosing the entire file. If I'm right your file is formatted like this:

using this;
using that;

{


class1
{

}
class2
{

}

... //more classes


}

This will make my code put it all in one file. Make sure your file is formatted like this:

using this;
using that;

class1
{

}
class2
{

}

... //more classes

I cant do anythign about what the file I will be parsing looks like...it is auto-generated code that just compiles into one big file....

let me show you what i'm talking about with the [System.]thing:
this is how each class starts off:

[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("svcutil", "3.0.4506.2152")]
    [System.SerializableAttribute()]
    [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
    [System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]
    public partial class PersonType1

and then the first "{" and then the rest of the code.

Would it be possible to mark the beginning of a class...and then somehow go backwards until you reach the end of the last class and then store the code in between?

Your attached file has a { before those lines that is what's causing the problem.

... And have you tried running the code with the file that doesn't have the extra brackets?
