templating a class - what the hell's wrong?

[Nobody/Anonymous]

I am attempting to template my previously successful class alphatree.

After much cutting and pasting (placing the previously separate definitions within the header file) and attempting to track down errors, I now
have the following error:

102 alphatree.h
end of file read inside definition

which refers to this definition:

void erase(string& thisword) // line 102 immediately below
                   {   
                          iterator tn = find(thisword);
                          if (tn == 0)
                          {
                             return;
                          }
      
                          for (int i = 0; i< 26; i++)
                          {
                              if (tn->branches[i] != 0)
                          {
                          tn->flag = 0;
                          --nodecount;
                          return;
                  
                          int charpos = tn->first.length()-1;
      
                          while (charpos != -1)
                          {
                                Tnode<T>* parent = tn->parent;
                                parent->branches[tn->first[charpos]-97]= 0;
              
                                if (this->size() == 1 && tn->flag != 0)
                                {
                                   firstnode = 0;
                                   lastnode = 0;
                                   endroot = 0;
                                }
            
                                if (tn == firstnode)
                                {
                                   iterator temp_it = firstnode;
                                   ++temp_it;
                                   firstnode = temp_it.it;
                                }
                                if (tn == lastnode)
                                {
                                   iterator temp_it = lastnode;
                                   ++temp_it;
                                   lastnode = temp_it.it;
                                }
            
                                if (tn->flag != 0)
                                {
                                   --nodecount;
                                }
                                delete tn.it;
            
                                tn = parent;
            
                                if (tn->flag != 0)
                                {
                                   return;
                                }
                                for (int i=0; i< 26; i++)
                                {
                                    if (tn->branches[i] != 0)
                                    {
                                       return;
                                    }
                                }
                                --charpos;
                           }
                           return;
                } 

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?

Thanks

Further to my original post, I am also getting a: parse error at end on input in MAIN.

This is just a hunch, but perhaps the actual error is somewhere before the given line... missing semi-colon or something like that.

In case anyone is interested, just like to say I got the program running.

Still have no idea what the original problem was; junked the whole thing and started over. Took a more step by step approach and it worked!.
