[R] using edit to extract codes from vignette failed

[PO SU]

Tks for correcting me not using the file argument, but the codes you supply  seem still not work.

edit(vignette("grobs",package = "grid")) can't work.
I am using win7, the latest version of Rstudio which using R.3.1.1.The error is:
Error in editor(file = file, title = title) : 
  argument "name" is missing, with no default

>(edit is a method. It looks at the class of the first entry, name, to identify which method to use. See ?edit.  You want it to use edit.vignette, so you need to drop 'file=' so you pass the vignette to edit as the first argument or name=. Then edit will pass it to edit.vignette and it'll work. Or go direct: edit.vignette(vignette("grobs",package = "grid")). See ?vignette. Maybe the use of name as the first argument of a method is a little misleading? But you can work out what is going if you work through the help documentation.)
