Many of my R scripts call other R scripts using the
source function. If there is a syntax error in one of
the scripts, I get an error message such as
Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error
on line 1
but the name of the file where the error occurs is not
given. Other error messages such as
Error in print(xxx) : Object "xxx" not found
show neither the file name or the line number. Is
there a way to get this information in error messages?
I have found it helpful in other programming
languages.
