# 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
