[Solved] Sourcing .bashrc gets "syntax error: unexpected end of file"

I've looked at the wiki and the web as well as this forum for a clue as to why my .bashrc file spits out "syntax error: unexpected end of file."  On boot-up my user account gives me this error when I login to a TTY or open a terminal window.  As a result, my nice prompt that I spent some time developing doesn't work and my prompt instead defaults to a prompt I put into /etc/bash.bashrc just for fun.  That prompt gives you a smiley face if your last command worked or a frowny face if it failed.  Should anyone wish to use it, here it is:

 PS1="$(if [[ ${EUID} == 0 ]]; then echo '\[\033[01;31m\]\h'; else echo '\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h'; fi)\[\033[01;34m\] \w \$([[ \$? != 0 ]] && echo \"\[\033[01;31m\]:(\[\033[01;34m\] \")
\\$\[\033[00m\] " 

I am posting the original .bashrc file and one stripped of all extraneous material in the hope that my mistake is more easily found.

My stripped down .bashrc I've used to try to debug this issue

if [[ $- != *i* ]] ; then
	# Shell is non-interactive.  Be done now!
	return

## name=dark purple; relative directory=medium purple; prompt=dark purple; font code=light grey
PS1='\[\e[0;35m\]\u\[\e[m\]\[\e[0;37m\] \W\[\e[m\]\[\e[0;35m\] \$ \[\e[m\]\[\e[0;37m\]'

man() {

	LESS_TERMCAP_md=$(printf "\e[0;32m") \
	LESS_TERMCAP_me=$(printf "\e[0m") \

	LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$(printf "\e[0m") \
	LESS_TERMCAP_us=$(printf "\e[1;33m") \
	man "$@"
}

The original .bashrc

# ~/.bashrc
# Test for an interactive shell.
# This file is sourced by all *interactive* bash shells on startup,
# including some apparently interactive shells such as scp and rcp
# and it's important to refrain from outputting anything in those cases. 
# So make sure this doesn't display anything or bad things will happen !

if [[ $- != *i* ]] ; then
	# Shell is non-interactive.  Be done now!
	return

###Prompts & Terminal theme is black on white

## name=dark purple; absolute directory=medium purple; prompt=dark purple; font code=light grey
PS1='\[\e[0;35m\]\u\[\e[m\]\[\e[0;37m\] \W\[\e[m\]\[\e[0;35m\] \$ \[\e[m\]\[\e[0;37m\]'

## Identical to previous prompt *BUT* this one *does not show your directory* location
#PS1='\[\e[0;35m\]\u\[\e[m\]\[\e[0;37m\][\e[m\]\[\e[0;35m\] \$ \[\e[m\]\[\e[0;37m\]'

## Bright purple user name, absolute directory location is shown and prompt with white text
#PS1='\[\e[0;35m\]\u\[\e[m\]\[\e[0;37m\] \W\[\e[m\]\[\e[0;35m\] \$ \[\e[m\]\[\e[1;37m\]'

I am grateful to this community's efforts and it is due to those efforts that I have rarely had to actually post to this forum seeking guidance for my problems.

This is, I'm sure, a trivial issue to solve but I have thus far failed to do so. 

Thank you,
MS

Re: [Solved] Sourcing .bashrc gets "syntax error: unexpected end of file"

The first if is not closed by fi.

EDIT: Too slow sad.

Good gods I'm an idiot!  Thank you very much, I shall now slink back under my rock and proceed to pound my head against it till the next time I have a perverse desire to look foolish on a public forum.
