Unexpected EOF in .profile

When opening a new window under Terminal, got that message:

Last login: Sun Oct 30 10:35:12 on ttys000
-bash: /Users/MyName/.profile: line 47: syntax error: unexpected end of file


I tried several clues like using BBedit or emacs to get rid of it, nothing does. Maybe shell commands cut or tr should do ?


I don't even know the ASCII coding of <EOF> under UNIX Smilie

By the way when you type 'cat filename | bbedit', you can directly make changes under BBEdit, can you save and quit then ? Why can't you do 'cat filename | textedit' ?
