(Message sent with lines unwrapped)

Here's a python one-liner that can be run from the command line. It
will return a list of all line numbers in "myfile" which contain a
non-even number of double quotation marks:

python -c 'print [e for e, line in enumerate(open("myfile")) if line.count("\"") % 2]'


Hope that works for you,
