Yes, or also:
cat `find /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/ library -name "$TM_CURRENT_WORD.html" -print` or cat `find /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/ library -name "$TM_CURRENT_SELECTION.html" -print`
would work here too.
Good idea, thanks!
Once you open an R help page in this way, the hyperlinks don't work. Anyone know if it's possible to fix that?

Sorry - I'm being very slow. Of course, "read" will do what I want. Hopefully other R users may find this "Show in R help" command useful though.
read name cat `find /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/Current/ Resources/library -name $name.html -print`

Hi all,
Previous conversations on related topics to this don't seem to answer the question (correct me if I'm wrong!), so:
Can I turn the input to a command script into a shell variable, i.e. is there a UNIXy way of reading stdin into a variable?
To be more concrete, I have a simple command for looking up the current word in the R help files (which are in HTML) and displaying the page in TM's browser. The basic command is
#! /usr/bin/ruby text = STDIN.read file = `find /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/Current/ Resources/library -name #{text}.html -print` html = `cat #{file}` print html
This works, but seems like an inelegant solution, and for more complex tasks it would be useful to know how to avoid needing ruby and make this something like
var=[something] cat `find /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/Current/ Resources/library -name $var.html -print`
TIA! Jon
