This kind of thing usually turns out to be an invisible special character.

You can either copy it to an editor where you can turn on "view invisible characters" or just retype the | eval code character by character.

There is exactly one | eval in your code, and the error must be after an open paren ( and before the corresponding close paren ), so start by just retyping the space-minus-space - in the middle of each parenthetical expression.

If that doesn't work, then type over the parenthesis themselves or retype the whole eval.
