Thanks, Keary, that did the trick.

I'm curious, however, what the value of this "Placeholders" feature is, and how one would use it.

People on other forums have raved about it to me, but they never explained that the placeholder(s) needed to be replaced before Build and Go. I'm just wondering what the process would be (and the potential value for leaving the preference on and using this feature).

Hi, Xcoders, thanks for taking the time to look at this my first post here. I'm a newbie at Xcode, so I have very simple questions, but any help from you will be huge, since learning curve is hardest at the beginning.


Does anyone know about this feature Xcode 3 has where it puts a blue balloon around things like "float theRadius" so that it's one piece of code you can easily click on and delete?

I don't know what the official name for this feature is, or how to disable it, but I need to find out, because these things are breaking my code. They result in tons of errors, usually starting with "error: syntax error at "#" token".


It sounds like you are leaving auto-completed argument placeholders intact. You are supposed to replace these with real values. If you leave them unchanged, you will get syntax errors. This should only happen for arguments. You can turn off argument placeholder insertion in preferences under "code sense". You can still have autocompletion for methods and identifiers with this off.
