There’s Syntax errors in this

Мысль

Addressing encoding issues

It looks like there are encoding issues in the PDF, where characters like "‑" and "±" appear in the JavaScript code. These seem to be artifacts from copy-pasting, and while some non-ASCII characters in strings are allowed, mismatched hyphens like "‑" in code can cause syntax errors. If these show up, they need attention.

Identifying likely syntax issues

Strings can hold the problematic characters without issue. One potential error is the unrecognized comment "/* eslint-disable new-cap */". For syntax errors, I'll focus on common issues like unbalanced braces/parentheses or truncated functions. I can provide a fixed snippet for the top issues—no need for clarifications, just fixes!

Finding function endings

We need to ensure the functions like "REASON_TABLE" and "ENHANCED_REASON_TABLE" are properly closed. I'll search for them and check for matching closing braces, possibly navigating through additional pages if needed. Since the user hasn't provided specifics, I'll produce the best effort to fix any syntax errors found.

Diagnosing and fixing errors

The PDF contains hidden non-code strings, such as page markers and stray characters, which interfere with the code. I'll provide a cleaned-up patch for the main functions causing errors, like REASON_TABLE. I'll also emphasize to the user that they need to remove these markers and check for unclosed brackets when pasting into Google Apps Script.

Diagnosing and fixing syntax errors

The user's code has syntax errors likely caused by copying from a PDF, bringing in encoding artifacts like curly quotes, em dashes, and page markers. To fix this: use the original .gs or .txt file, strip unwanted characters, and balance braces. I’ll provide regex patterns and a sanitizing script. Here's a minimal code snippet to help.

Gotcha. The “syntax errors” aren’t really bugs in the code logic—they’re artifacts from copying code out of the PDF. Three things in the PDF will break Apps Script/JS if pasted as-is:

  1. Encoding garbage (e.g. stray Â, smart quotes, fancy dashes) inside comments/strings
    You can see those right at the top: “clamp to ±0.005” and odd hyphen/quote sequences later (e.g. return‑oriented). (script.free.pdf) (script.free.pdf)

  2. Injected page markers right in the middle of functions
    Lines like <PARSED TEXT FOR PAGE: …> and [L123] get spliced into the code—any one of those will cause a syntax error. Example: a pushPick(...) call is split by a page marker mid-function. (script.free.pdf)

  3. Truncated chunks that make braces/parentheses look “unbalanced”
    The source actually defines REASON_TABLE(...) correctly; but if you copy a region that includes a page splice, your pasted snippet will be missing a closing )/}. (script.free.pdf)

Quick fix (safe cleanup steps)

Do these find-and-replace passes before pasting into Apps Script:

  • Remove page artifacts
    • Find: ^<PARSED TEXT FOR PAGE:.*$ → Replace: (empty) (Regex, multiline)
    • Find: ^$$L\d+$$\s* → Replace: (empty) (Regex, multiline)
  • Normalize quotes/dashes
    • Find: [\u2018\u2019]'
    • Find: [\u201C\u201D]"
    • Find: [\u2010\u2011\u2012\u2013\u2014\u2212]-
    • Find: Â(empty)
    • Optionally: replace ± with +/- if you prefer pure ASCII
  • After cleaning, use your editor’s “Format Document” and run a bracket-matching check to confirm balanced { } ( ).

If you want a one-shot script (run locally)

In VS Code’s Replace panel (Regex on):

  1. Remove page lines:
    • Find: ^<PARSED TEXT FOR PAGE:.*\r?\n?Replace: (empty)
  2. Strip [L123] counters:
    • Find: ^$$L\d+$$\s*Replace: (empty)
  3. Quote/dash fixes as above.

After this, the file should parse. For reference, the REASON_TABLE(...) signature you want to keep starts like this (don’t let any page markers cut through it):

js
function REASON_TABLE(nameA, nameB, oddsA, oddsB, serverFirst){ try { var validation = validateBothPlayersData('', ''); if (!validation.valid) { return [ ['ERROR', validation.errorMsg], // ... ]; } // ...

…and it should end with matching } for the try {} and the function itself (if your paste is missing one, it’s because a page splice ate lines). (script.free.pdf)

If you hit a specific line/column error even after cleanup, drop me the exact message and I’ll pinpoint the single offending character and give you the patched line.
