[R] R-(wiki)-pedia?

[Barry Rowlingson]

Here's a function for searching the Rwiki from R:

rwiki.search <- function(string){

   RwikiURL="http://fawn.unibw-hamburg.de/cgi-bin/Rwiki.pl"
   RwikiSearchURL=paste(RwikiURL(),"?search=",string,sep='')
   browseURL(RwikiSearchURL)

   return(invisible(0))
}


Then you can do rwiki.search("gabor") and the results pop up in your 
browser.

Perhaps we need some more documentation-getting functions in R, such as 
this, something to search the mailing list archives, and maybe a 
readPostingGuide() function...

Or is this spoonfeeding too much, and people should be able to go to a 
web page and stick something in the search box?
