Compiling trouble

I'm rather new to C++, and I'm having a problem compiling one of my programs. The error says "unterminated character or string constant". I went to the line it said the error occured on, but I've got both opening and closing double quotes. I tried deleating the line, but it gave the same error on a different line (that also had both quotes).

I'm using Windows XP, and writing and compiling using Dev-C++.

Perhaps you should have posted the code that gave the error?

You may have an embedded " in the string for instance

char string[] = "Hello " World";

would give some sort of error to do with quotes because the " in the string is not escaped.

However like I said fairly impossible for use to tell without seeing the actual line of code with the error (and probably most of the code around it).

check other lines before the error line. Checking for closing braces and ";" and doublequotes.
