Plantz) Newsgroups: comp.unix.questions,comp.unix.shell,comp.lang.perl Subject: script to mark mispelled words in a text file Keywords: script misspelled words Message-ID: <1704@manta.NOSC.MIL> Date: 6 Feb 91 18:09:05 GMT Organization: Naval Ocean Systems Center, San Diego Lines: 15 I need a script to "mark" misspelled words in a text file. I am aware of the the unix "spell" command, but was interested if anyone has a script (cshell, awk, perl, etc) to input as a parameter, a file indicating a "local dictionary" of words to skip, and the text file to check, outputting this same text file with the misspelled words marked somehow.
