Hi Tyler:
Almost! That code has a stray comment in the last line. But I�ve tested
this and it works on both macOS and Linux�.
(defun ess-eww ()
(interactive)
(let ((BUF (generate-new-buffer "URL"))
(PORT))
(ess-command "print(tools::startDynamicHelp(NA))" BUF)
(with-current-buffer BUF
(setq PORT (buffer-substring (search-forward-regexp "\\[1\\] ")
(point-max)))
(message (buffer-substring (point-min) (point-max))))
(kill-buffer BUF)
(eww (concat "http://127.0.0.1:"; PORT "/doc/html/index.html"))))
N.B. the second to last string might be transformed into a URL rather than text.
So, here I am escaping it by substituting all-CAPS for those who need that...
"HTTP://127.0.0.1:"
