R help - Feb 2010 - Lines in code

Hi,

I dont know if this a coding rule or a program bug.

When I write this function below it work:

a <- c(1,2)
for(i in a){
  print(i)
}

[1] 1
[1] 2

But if I write this function with line space it dont work.

a <- c(1,2)
for(i in a){

  print(i)

}

Error: unexpected '}' in "}"

I remember that in early R version this limitation dont exist.

This is a bus, a rule or a missconfiguration on my linux system?

R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14) on Debian Unstable

Thanks
Ronaldo

[1] 1
[1] 2


so it is something local to your system or the way you entered the code.
