Accidentally edited wordpress functions.php - Help much appreciated!

I made a massive rookie error and when I went to paste some code on the end of my wordpress theme's functions.php file, instead I did so on the wordpress 'wp-includes' functions.php.

I then deleted the code once I got a syntax/parse error saying there was an unexpected 'end of file' on functions.php

I can't for the life of me remember how that file ended and don't know what to do - all i know is i can't do anything on my wordpress site.

My functions.php ends like this:

PHP

	<script>
	( function() {
		var query = document.location.search;

		if ( query && query.indexOf( 'preview=true' ) !== -1 ) {
			window.name = '<?php echo $name; ??>';
		}

		if ( window.addEventListener ) {
			window.addEventListener( 'unload', function() { window.name = ''; }, false );
		}
	}());
	</script>
	}	
}

Thank you so much for anyone who gives the time to assist.

Thought about just downloading the same version of WordPress and replacing the file(s) that you changed? Of course this is assuming you have not modified those files from the base WordPress.

Looks like you are missing a needed php tag. Should be:

XML

    <script>
    ( function() {
        var query = document.location.search;

        if ( query && query.indexOf( 'preview=true' ) !== -1 ) {
            window.name = '<?php echo $name; ?>';
        }

        if ( window.addEventListener ) {
            window.addEventListener( 'unload', function() { window.name = ''; }, false );
        }
    }());
    </script>
    <?php
}

If you have not changed the file before to this, then just download WordPress again and replace the existing file with the new file in your WordPress.
