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
2: message("bad"
3:
