Here is a version of that:
readExample <- function(...) {
exampleL <- utils::example;
environment(exampleL) <- new.env();
source <- function(zfile, ...) readLines(zfile);
exampleL(...);
} # readExample()
> readExample(diff);

[5] ""
[6] "### ** Examples"
[7] ""
[8] "diff(1:10, 2)"

[10] "x <- cumsum(cumsum(1:10))"
