How do you fix "unexpected in condition parsing: "recruit_pool"?

Error message:

Script Error in data/export_descr_buildings.txt, at line 41, column 148
Unexpected in condition parsing: 'recruit_pool'

All I did was add this line:

recruit_pool "Magyar Town Militia" 1 0.2 2 0 requires factions { hungary, }

here is the entry where I added it:

Code:

wooden_wall city requires factions { northern_european, mesoamerican, middle_eastern, eastern_european, greek, southern_european, } 
        {
            convert_to 2
            capability
            {
                recruit_pool "Conquistadores"  1   0.4   3  0  requires factions { spain, portugal, }  and hidden_resource america
                recruit_pool "Dismounted Conquistadores"  1   0.4   3  0  requires factions { spain, portugal, }  and hidden_resource america
                recruit_pool "Town Militia"  1   0.2   2  0  requires factions { england, scotland, france, hre, denmark, spain, portugal, Normans, } 
                recruit_pool "Italian Militia"  1   0.2   2  0  requires factions { milan, venice, papal_states, sicily, } 
                recruit_pool "EE Town Militia"  1   0.2   2  0  requires factions { poland, }
		recruit_pool "Magyar Town Militia"  1   0.2   2  0  requires factions { hungary, } 
                recruit_pool "EE Archer Militia"  1   0.2   2  0  requires factions { russia, } 
                recruit_pool "SE Town Militia"  1   0.2   2  0  requires factions { byzantium, } 
                recruit_pool "ME Town Militia"  1   0.2   2  0  requires factions { moors, turks, mongols, timurids, } 
                recruit_pool "ME Archer Militia"  1   0.2   2  0  requires factions { egypt, } 
                recruit_pool "Peasant Spearmen"  1   0.2   2  0  requires factions { Saxons, } 
                wall_level 1
                gate_strength 1
                tower_level 1
                free_upkeep bonus 3
                happiness_bonus bonus 1
                recruitment_slots 2

I deleted the added line and returned the entry to normal but it still crashed at startup loading. Anything I can do to fix this instead of re-doing all my recruitment entries?

Also, I don't have notepad since i'm using a mac, and I read about using the view -> status bar and then looking at the numbers at the bottom trick, but i can't do that in textedit.

So let me get this straight,

you added the unit and it crashed,

Subsequently you deleted the entire entry again and retried and it crashed again with the same error?

My first question would be, are you sure you're looking at the right line ? Perhaps you accidently removed a bracket or something somewhere? Upload your EDU and I'll have a look at it.

Also, column 148 would be way to the right of this entry so maybe there is something there ?, I copied it into notepad and it only has 86 columns.

Okay, I added the line for Magyar Town Militia where it currently is in the file, and then when it crashed, I deleted the line for Magyar Town Militia and it still crashed with the same error. That's it. I added a bunch of new units into the edu, but all of them worked fine (they could be recruited, no errors) up until this one. I will upload my edu file as an attachment around 3 this afternoon.

How I'd fix it without understanding anything:

Delete the line, copy+paste another line, and change the relevant text.

If removing the only change you are aware of making did not fix the problem then I suspect your text editor is messing it up.

Suggest using Notepad++ and trying again.

I'm using a mac, so i can't get notepad, and i don't know what notepad++ is anyway, but thanks for the suggestion. I'm probably just going to get a vanilla copy of the edb and redo the additions I made. I only added in 5 or 6 units, so its not that big of a deal, and its not like i have to completely re-install the units.
