Unable to determine structure as arff in WEKA - attributes

Question

I tried the proposed solutions online by saving the file in ANSI and deleting the first line and changing the attributes to numeric instead of real as follows and even by adding a '}' symbol at the line 29 but I still get the following error in WEKA when I try to import the arff file.
Error Message:
Unable to determine structure as arff(Reason:java.io.IOException: } expected at end of enumeration, read Token[EOL],line 29)
ARFF file:

Answer 1

Arff don't need closing bracelet at the end of attribute section or data section. So remove them.
Attribute name must start with an alphabetic character.
If nominal values contains space then they must be quoted e.g here values of gender, 24# attributes needs to be quoted i.e. 'Male (Lelaki)'.
Please check whether space needs to be given in between attribute name and attribute datatype even for nominal values.
Also make it sure that each line of data input consists of number of values equal to number of attributes specified in attribute section.
If above points fail to remove error please check arff file format details at http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka/arff.html

Answer 2

Next time consider editing your question instead of writing a question in an answer.
The problem is that you should change Don't_know and Don't know at attributes 23 and 24 to Dont_know. Meaning that you have to skip punctuation and spaces.
Also you need to change either this #attribute Gender? { Male(Lelaki),Female(Perempuan) } to #attribute Gender? { Male,Female }
Or your data should be like this Male(Lelaki),36,2,3,Nothing_to_Carry,1,3,... instead of Male,36,2,3,Nothing_to_Carry,1,3...

Try to open your .csv file dataset from Weka Software.
It has some steps to do
By installing the Weka software and go to the "Experimenter" tab
Then go to the "analyze" tab
Then select the.csv data set from opening it through "file" option
Then click the "open explorer" button
Then save the opened output as .arff format with a name
After that Close the Weka software
7.Then open the Weka software again and go to the "Explorer" tab
Then open the earlier saved .arff format dataset from that
Afterthat this type of error doesn't come. You can do the preprocessing, classifications, association rules easily with Weka software.
