Newbie: Spell-Check
[1/5] from: mattymattkim::hotmail::com at: 27-Oct-2002 22:06
Hi,
I've stumbled upon the Spell-Check algorithm put together wonderfully by
Andrew Martin (and edited by a few others).
I would like to use the spell check (without the GUI) for simple spell
checking functionality in my scripts. However, after trying to understand
the code, I can't figure out how to use it!
I've stripped the part involving the GUI and this is what I'm left with (i
hope).
To use it, would I write:
Output: spell "Helo, this is a test."
Secondly, how would I use the "Spell-HTML" function to ignore any email
address posted in the sentance?
Ex. "Helo, I'm writing from [joe--example--com]".
Thanks!!!
Matt

I couldn't figure it out either. :(
A spell checker really has to ask the user/writer, "is this [gobeleegook]
really a word or is it a mistake?" and then change it's store of right words
appropriately, and then repeat the above for the next suspicious word (if
necessary).

Hehe... didn't you write the spell check program Andrew?
Perhaps my view is overly simplistic, but doesn't it just scan through the
dictionary.txt file and determine a best matching word?

No. It's doesn't do that. :) I was going to use something like Allen's
soundex to guess appropriate words that would be suitable replacements.

I know Volker has developed a bit of spell checking stuff, but I'm not sure
what state it's in, or if he's planning on publishing it anywhere. Maybe
he'll jump in here.
