source() does not include added code

I am trying to understand why "source" does not process all the code in this R file. 1. I copied maCross.R from the quantstrat/demo directory into my project area. QuantStrat is available at https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=316 install.packages("quantstrat", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org") 2. I added this line at the end of the R file: t(tradeStats("macross") 3. When I enter: source('maCross.R') at the prompt, it fails to process the added line of code. Why not?
You're missing a closing parenthesis. I'd have hoped for an error
message about that, and I get one with a similar example. Not sure why
you didn't.
> source('test.R')
Error in source("test.R") : test.R:4:0: unexpected end of input
