This should work:

@TomScottUnnebergNielsen Please remove the "..." part, sorry, this was for meant for your code inside the braces. – Felix G. May 11 '13 at 18:45

@TomScottUnnebergNielsen To solve this I would need to see your whole code. Are alle braces closed correctly? `if (...) { ... } else { ... }` – Felix G. May 11 '13 at 18:49

No, he's not closing all braces. He just copy and pasted, not knowing what your answer was explaining (which is why "[try this](http://stuck.include-once.org/#help10)" is bad for answers). Your regex delimiters also conflict with the actual match pattern. – mario May 11 '13 at 18:51
