..but is there not one to many '}' in this file?, right when 'province = {}' ends?

One ends 'Header', but what does the other one end?

Now it can't be a bug, cause the game don't seem to mind, or am I just seeing stuff here?
 
...are you sure? I have this...

Code:
province = { bla bla bla bla
  }
}

globaldata = bla bla bla bla

The first } close province and the second close header, then starts globaldata.

No i'm not sure :( just wondering ?

Look all the way out to the right of the last line of province = { bla bla bla bla

Yep you are correct, those are the wrong ones.
The EU syntax checker (used in every game since then, and possibly also before) treats "{" and "(" as syntactically identical in most (perhaps all) situations. It distinguishes between "}" and ")".

Most annoying for us bracket-balancers, but since every game also includes some Paradox generated data that uses the "(" in place of the "{", I assume it is intentional. (Or an age-old "feature" that nobody has cared to tidy up since it works :D)

* Nostalgia: Remembers the fun when a clueless person claimed that the (} issue showed that Victoria had hundreds of bugs with events that would, obviously, never fire because of the imbalance, and how could beta testers possibly have failed to notice such obvious bugs &etc. At the least he could have tried triggering the events manually, which would have shown that they worked perfectly *

I'm not a victoria man, so I dont know anything about this game.


Still leave me with one extra '}' in the file?? Why don’t the game trip over this one? Well it obviously means nothing. Just wondering if anybody knew why this little extra was hanging there?
