What is はこう from はこうやって?


What is the translation of はこう ? (from はこうやって)

I know that it would mean something like : This is how (I do) ... Yet, I
cannot find the word in any dictionary. I just find the meaning of "wave
height".




I think it should be parsed as the `は` particle, `こう` "in this way" and `やって`
(from the verb `やる` "to do").

If at the end of the sentence, I think it would most likely be "as for ..., do
it in this way", but if in the middle or start of the sentence, `こうやって` can be
translated as "thus" or "in this way", for example:

> こうやって私はその機械を作った。  
>  I made the machine in this way.
