Hi If you get yourself any decent text editor, it will have an option to show line numbers.
Plenty of free editors here: http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0,10151,0-4003619-106-0-1-0,00.html?tag=d ir Personally I use and would recommend 'Ultra-edit' It would probably be a good idea to just post the line in question, due to line wrapping in mail it is difficult to figure out without going through the entire script where your error is.
