Plantz) Newsgroups: comp.lang.perl,comp.unix.shell,comp.unix.questions Subject: Marking misspelled words with a script (csh, sh, perl, whatever) Keywords: csh, sh, perl, misspellings Message-ID: <1867@manta.NOSC.MIL> Date: 1 Apr 91 17:03:51 GMT Organization: Naval Ocean Systems Center, San Diego Lines: 21 I need a script to "mark" misspelled words in a text file. The script could use any one of a number of unix utilities, such as awk, c-shell, borne-shell, or perl. I would like to pass the script several parameters, such as a file of "local spellings", and the name of the text file to scan. All the script should do is _MARK_ the misspelled words, (for example, by writting back out something like <> ) and write the text file _back out_ again, under the same or a different name. I posted a request similar to this several months ago, but the responses did not fit my needs for this task. I will post a summary of the responses I receive, if I get a sufficient number. Thanks very much in advance. ============================================================================== Glen Plantz Computer Sciences Corporation 4045 Hancock Street email - plantz@nosc.mil San Diego, CA 92110 phone - (619)225-2538 ==============================================================================
