Aquarium Tutorial Datablock dropdown box solution

Hi Everyone,

I have been doing the Aquarium tutorial and was up to the Config Datablocks section. I followed the tutorial exactly and it failed.
I created my text file using TextEdit on the mac. I copied and pasted the code, and it failed.
When I then opened the same file using Xcode it showed a bunch of extra code and comments that were hidden in TextEdit.
When I copy and pasted the code from the tutorial into xcode and relaunched TGB it work straight away.
Hope this helps a few people. I know it took 2 hours of my life to work out. Cheers

When in doubt, always use something like Xcode. I'm going to modify the docs to push that agenda. I've never trusted things like TextEdit, Word Pad, etc.
