Yes, but of course that executes neither one nor the other. This works, though:
eval(parse(textConnection(if (FALSE) "
syntactically //// incorrect ' code must not use double-quotes, though
" else "
print('this is a test')
")))
though it is horribly ugly, so I second the suggestion to do this in
your text editor if you must do it at all.
