Hi Micah,

I think that you got the code form part 2 of the tutorial [1] by clicking on
the "click to expand" link. For some reason, the code on that page is quite
messed up -- for example, notice the lack of backslashes: the `n`s at the
end of some of the strings should be `\n`, which is the escape sequence for
newline.

The downloadable script file [2] looks OK (based on a quick visual
inspection using Vim). Try downloading it and see if it actually works.

Regards,
Yaser Sulaiman
