EOL while scanning string literal

MeredithGreen

I'm in the process of creating a tool using a script.  I keep getting the error ERROR 000989: Python syntax error: Parsing error <type 'exceptions.SyntaxError'>: EOL while scanning string literal (line 83) Failed to execute (CalculateField).

I have been staring at my script at line 83 trying to figure out what's wrong but I just can't see the problem.  I wanted to know if someone can take a look at this section of my script and see if they spot the problem.  Line 83 is in bold and colored red.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could also get rid of your entire list of IF statements by just returning the first 5 characters of your string variable, which looks like what you're trying to achieve here.  Something like:

def Reclass(ProjectLd):

     return ProjectLd[:5]      # will send back a string containing the first 5 characters of ProjectLd

which doesn't even really need its own method... you could just parse the string at the point you're calling it (unless I'm missing something else this method does, then just insert it underneath).
