Can anyone see the cause of this error please? Source was a YT tutorial which I
carefully transcribed. I've been staring at line 20 and its neighbours for ages
but cannot see my mistake.

That "-x" in the second translate looks like an em-dash or something
else but not a normal "minus".
ciao,
Torsten.

Torsten got it I think. Looks like a double minus or em-dash needs to be a
single, normal, "-" character.

BTW... (this is an open broadcast) when posting an "error in line???"
query, please do something like add a bunch of less-than symbols (like this
// <<<<<< line such-n-such) to the end of the mentioned line. Including
the comment symbols is also helpful.
Having to count lines is difficult when you are trying to read past
google's text reformatting and other vagaries.

Yes, it is exactly an em-dash, confirmed with HexEdit:
E28094 is the UTF-8 encoding for U+2014 EM DASH.
