JavaScript eval - "SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL"

eval("Encryption={Load:function(enc){var id=enc.split('/z');var e=[id[0],id[2]];id=toNumber(string.reverse(id[1]));enc=e.join('');e=enc.substring(1).split('/');var fin='';console.log(id);for(var CN=0;CN<e.length;CN++){fin+=string.char(toNumber(e[CN])/id);}eval(fin);}};");

It's all on one line because adding new lines into the string (even if I just put \n), causes another error.

When I run this, I get the error, "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL"

I can't understand why. I did start chopping off pieces of code, and found the error comes right after

e=enc.substring(1).split('/');

is added.

So if I remove everything in Encryption's Load function including that, it will work. Though I need all of the function.

And I did Google it, and nothing seemed to fit what I was looking for.

You had an invalid character in the initial code you posted which you have fixed in your edit:

enter image description here

This works fine:

eval("Encryption={Load:function(enc){var id=enc.split('/z');var e=[id[0],id[2]];id=toNumber(string.reverse(id[1]));enc=e.join('');e=enc.substring(1).split('/');var fin='';console.log(id);for(var CN=0;CN<e.length;CN++){fin+=string.char(toNumber(e[CN])/id);}eval(fin);}};");

as it can be seen from this this jsfiddle.
