Sloppy file mods - missing spaces

[unmerged(35761)]

A program that I'm writing which parses CK text files found some problems in a modified "db\dynasties.txt" file. Paradox-supplied files and save files seem to consistantly separate brackets from other text in the file, so that you would never see:

province = { 130 131 132}

but rather:

province = { 130 131 132 }

My program was reading the "132}" as a single token, rather than as a number and close-bracket. I don't know if CK is smarter, but it might be a good idea to make sure that modifications are correctly typed.

I found the problems in the 23 October (?) beta and I don't how many files have this issue. I will check some more of them when I get a chance. A quick count (with "Match Whole Word Only") of open- and close-brackets in UltraEdit (or an equivalent program) will let you know if your opens and closes match.

I don't know, but I doubt the spaces matter

I also noticed this morning that parentheses are being used instead of brackets in some places. For example:

dynasty = {
id = ( type = 12 id = 101680 }
name = "Tegaingl"
province = { 018 019 020 }
}
dynasty = {
id = ( type = 12 id = 101681 }
name = "Topor"
province = { 529 428 429 432 }
}
dynasty = {
id = ( type = 12 id = 101682 }
name = "Dukljanina"
province = { }
}
dynasty = {
id = ( type = 12 id = 101683 }
name = "Kometopoulos"
province = { }
}
