Working script won't compile

  • Thread-topic: Working script won't compile

Very strange,

I have a longish script that downloads files via transmit, unstuffs the
stuffed files, unzips the zipped files and distributes the expanded files to
various locations.

This script runs flawlessly every day.

I can open it in SD, and run it from there.
In SD I can type a space character at the end of a line and compile with no
problem.

But, if I make a more significant change to the script (changing a term) and
try to recompile I get the following compile error:

--Expected ³into², variable name, class name, other parameter name or
property but found command name.

And the "Expand" command below is highlighted. This is a properly formatted
command, consistent with the expander dictionary and it has worked in the
past.

If I paste the script in Script editor I get the same compile message.

Mac OSX 4.11, Stuffit Expander 7.03.

I'm going to ask the vendor to switch to .zip files, but in the meantime,
what's going on here?

ES

-------------
tell application "StuffIt Expander"
        launch
        try
            (Expand myFile without Delete Original)
        on error errText number errNum
            if errNum ‚ -2763 then
                log errText
                quit
            end if
            return myFile
        end try
-------------

    end tell
