[R] using edit to extract codes from vignette failed

[Karl Ropkins]

FYI:
I get the same for Windows 7 and 8, no RStudio:
edit(vignette("grobs",package = "grid")) works for me
edit(file=vignette("grobs",package = "grid")) does not

> edit(file=vignette("grobs",package = "grid"))
Error in tempfile(name$topic, fileext = ".R") :
  argument "name" is missing, with no default
> edit(vignette("grobs",package = "grid"))

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.)
