RoR syntax error. Where did I go wrong?

[andy_blah]

Hello,
Been trying to follow this (http://joneslee85.wordpress.com/2010/07/25/howto-recover-wordpress-posts-from-google-reader) guide with a Ruby on Rails script, did all the modifications, and finally saved the file. The only problem it retuns this:


RSS.rb:48: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting kDO or '{' or '('
...035/state/com.google/starred?n=12
^

Can anyone advise me what to do?
Thank you in advance.

48 lines is not so much. Can you post the whole script?

What do you mean by that? ^^;

I meant only that it is small enough so one might see the error by inspection. But I'm not even that much at home in Ruby, so I can't help you further.
