Stray \xxx in program

[xt5160]

I'm trying to use PWM on the MOD5213. I cut/pasted the example code from the App Note, but NBEclipse won't save the file; I get an "error: stray '\315' in program" (and other codes). There are numerous instances.
A search for the offending code yields "not found". There does not appear to be a way to use regular expressions; I've tried \x13B and it fails, too.

Does anybody have any suggestions (other than retype the example)?

My guess is that you have cut, then pasted some artifact out of the pdf example code. In my experience, problem areas to look out for occur around page breaks, page numbers, etc. I saved the pdf as a plain text file to eliminate some of these artifacts. Maybe this would work? It's been a while since i used 5213.

Thanks for the effort, but cut/paste from your reply has exactly the same errors. Having said that, I was able to determine the offending characters, by individually replacing each character in the line containing the error and attempting a save/build. In my particular case, it turned out to be the semicolon character (the cut from the PDF was a Unicode semicolon, 0000 037E). Once determined, I could search/replace the rest. I'm just annoyed that the error displayed was not searchable.

Still have some compile issue that are strange.... UserMain defined twice and AppName generates error.

I would suspect the leading slash is "escaping" the following digits and resulting in an unprintable character. I know I had a similar problem once. Wouldn't compile but couldn't find the offending data. As I recall I was able to open the offending files with an external editor that showed glyphs for them and easily delete them.
