In unix, is there a way to quickly find WHERE an Unmatched "
is in a file? It's very frustrating to get this message, but
not know where it is.  The file that is giving me the error is
an alias file. When I type "source .aliases" it gives me the
message: Unmatched "
and then refuses to run anything in the file.
Thanks for any help or info you can give!  Oh, and if this is
the wrong place to post this, I'm sorry - could you redirect
me to a more appropriate group?  Go easy on me - just a beginner! :)
