Look at the documentation for "source". You can source a file directly from the web:

source('http://myserver.com/somefile_on_web.R')

If that file contains R code for three functions, the functions will be "visible and useable immediately" in your workspace.

I got a dirty way to solve this.
write a temp .R source file including these new functions, then
source(this_temp_file)
but I don't know if there are some temp directory for R to store temp files?

hi R folks,
I need read a file from hardisk or www web. Then I need to define some
new functions according to the contents of the read file.
For  example, i need write a package name "mypackage" like this:
library(mypackage)
read(some_file_on_web) #to see its content, suppose it contains:
eat.drink.sleep
then 3 new functions need to be created and usable.
the problem is, how could I create functions after executing
">library(mypackage)" and make these new functions visible and usable
immediately?

Any information are appreciated. forgive me if this question is very
stupid. but I really need help.
Thank you all.
