Error reading

#1

Hi,
When I open Sublime I always get an error message. " Error trying to parse settings: Unexpected trailing characters in Packages\user\Plain text.sublime-settings:5:2"

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

Rob

Use View Package File from the command palette, enter plain text settings and select the entry that matches the name of the file you’re seeing to open it up.

The file needs to be valid JSON, but it’s broken roundabout line 5, column 2. This is usually the result of not putting a , after a setting when you add it, or trying to add a setting before or after the { and } characters that delimit the settings object.
