entrez_search gone? #17

Closed chartgerink closed 10 years ago

chartgerink commented 10 years ago

I was trying to run one of my R codes that uses entrez_search(), and I get the error that this function is not found. Did you drop this function?

I got this error after installing rpubmed on a different computer and trying to run my file. I fixed it by installing from an earlier commit, but wonder why you drop this function.

Curious if you are looking for the rentrez package instead? An example of its use: https://github.com/ropensci/rentrez#retreiving-datasets-associated-a-particular-organism

I've added rentrez back in for import. https://github.com/rOpenHealth/rpubmed/commit/723b4c5c913abfb3a7ca76396c8779e9e01e6e8d

I know the package only uses the entrez_email fn now but practically you will almost always be using rentrez_search to get your pubmed ids first so it makes sense to me to include it back in. Also, more functions in future wuill sit on top of rentrez

@chartgerink the most recent commit should work for you now.
