I've been following the Mono tutorial pretty well so far. I had a problem with the Console.Write call but resolved it when I specified System.Console.Write instead since the tutorial moved from using system to using system.IO.........but thats all beside the point

I'm at the Big Finale stage in the second tutorial LXF 88 page 97. When I replace my existing Main() with the code as specified I get an error at line 21, the last line which is just a closing brace
ie {
The error description is "Expecting `;'(CS1002)" for the file Main.cs

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? I'm running Fedora Core 6 on a dell laptop which i built specifically for the tutorial and i've installed all the packages required.

Incidentally FC6 is running way slow on this, Ubuntu ran v quick.

If you put all of the code (of the app) here, we might be able to reproduce the errorMessage and give it a try to resolve it.
But at first glance it sounds like a typo.

Heres the code, i'm sure it's just some typo but am brand new to this so it's not obvious to me,.......

using System.IO;

namespace Pipeknot
{
class Pipeknot
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length == 0){
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles("/home/rherron","*.txt",
SearchOption.AllDirectories);
File.WriteAllLines("filecache.pipeknot",files);
} else {
string[]cache=File.ReadAllLines("filecache.pipeknot");
foreach(string file in cache){
if (file.Contains(args[0])){
System.Console.Write(File.ReadAllText(file));
}
}
}

Ooops,... I did a quick brace count, added three more in, and guess what,...it worked

Looks like you fixed your own problem - well done!

As a side note, try having "using System;" and "using System.IO;" in the same script, one per line - that will let you go back to using Console.Write rather than System.Console.Write, as well as having the File and Directory classes.
