Hammer Destroyed my Map

Hammer destroyed the map I worked on the last days (again >_<).

If I want to compile it I get this Error:
Valve Software - vbsp.exe (Aug 4 2006)
1 threads
materialPath: e:\programme\steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\Obsidian\materials
Loading E:\Programme\Steam\SteamApps\gandorqueshikla\sourcesdk_content\hl2mp\mapsrc\oc_breens_citadel_a1.vmf
Brush 42778: File E:\Programme\Steam\SteamApps\gandorqueshikla\sourcesdk_content\hl2mp\mapsrc\oc_breens_citadel_a1.vmf, line 51721: unexpected symbol '.'
Side 5
Texture: METAL/CITADEL_METALWALL077A
I usually fix such Problems by deleting the Unexpected Symbol with the Notepad. But there is no . in the Line, and none at all, except of the Texture sizes.
This Bug just affects the Brush Entitys, if I delete one, I get the same error with another one, it just works If I delete them all.

Someone know how to fix this?
If I loose this map I think Ill be so demoralised that I wont map for weeks. >_<

Post the text that notepad gives. I believe the only way to solve this problem is by deleting the line.

The line changes everytime I delete the Entity, and I cant open the map in hammer anymore (typical for the unexpected symbol Error!), but I just discovered that I have a backup of it.
So the Thread can be closed, but thnanks anyway The fox! =D

Damn, I hate it when that happens :(

Good thing you had a backup!
