wie (Wikipedia Ingress Extractor)

This script extracts the first paragraph of any given Wikipedia article in any language. It's meant for terminal use, so one can read the ingress right from the console/terminal without starting a browser.

Usage

Either make the script executable with 'chmod +x wie.php' and run it as such:

./wie.php openbsd
./wie.php --lang=sv minicall

Or run it with 'php wie.php'. To display the help, type:

./wie.php --help

Requirements

The script requires PHP5 and the PHP5 cURL module (php5-curl on Debian systems).

Thanks

Many thanks goes to flinga who came up with the idea for this script, please see the THANKS file for more information.
