Writing a script for aspell

Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
The scirpt I have is meant to check the strings read in from a file with the aspell subroutine in the UNIX bash shell. I don't seem to have a problem reading it and checking it. Only printing it correctly.

I'm having some trouble with my script/understanding it fully. I want to print out all of the items stored in uncorrect in the mispelled columns I have set under the mispelled table. Then print out the values corrected with user input. Am I not storing them correctly? Or am I not calling them correctly in my last echo statement? I'm really just lost for syntax. Forgive me I'm new at this and am just having trouble understanding it. Thanks so much for your help in advance.

2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
It was recommended in my assignment that we use the ASPELL LIST command, but I didn't know how to properly implement it.

3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):

Code:

#! /bin/bash

#empty array's created to store the new spelling and old ones.
reSpell=()
uncorrect=()
# now check the spellings
let count=1

check=(`aspell list -p ~/.checked < $1`)
# for each mispelled word in the file is entered into i and put into the new directory memory if corrected
for i in ${check[*]} ; do
   uncorrect[$count]=$i
   read -p "$i is mispelled. Press \"Enter\" to keep this spelling or type your new spelling here: " newSpell

   # unfixed spellings are ignored and not replaced and are left where they are in the fiexedspell array
if [ "$newSpell"="" ]; then
   echo $i>> ~/.memory

else
   reSpell[$count]=$newSpell
fi
   count+=1
   echo ""

done


printf "MISPELLED %20s\n" CORRECTIONS
echo ""
let counter=1
for i in ${reSpell[*]}; do

   echo "{uncorrect[$counter]} %-20s%s\n" "${reSpell[$counter]}"

   counter+=1
done

redirecting the output of aspell

Hi, I have 2 identical servers both running aspell but for some reason I can't redirect the output to a file on one of them. This is what I'm trying to do: echo feck | aspell -l > errors.txt On one machine this works fine but the other it doesn't (the file is created but it is empty). ...

Trouble getting aspell to work

Hi: I've tried to get aspell to work to check a latex document I have. I get this error message: Error: No word lists can be found for the language "en_CA". Can anyone offer any suggestions? I'm trying to get a good spell-checker set up for my latex documents. Excalibur does not work all...

prezip-bin

PREZIP-BIN(1)						 Aspell Abbreviated User's Manual					     PREZIP-BIN(1)

NAME

       prezip-bin - prefix zip delta word list compressor/decompressor

SYNOPSIS

       prezip-bin [ -V | -d | -z ]

DESCRIPTION

       prezip-bin compresses/decompresses sorted word lists from standard input to standard output.

       Prezip-bin  is  similar	to  word-list-compress(1)  but	it  allows  a  larger  character set of {0x00...0x09, 0x0B, 0x0C, 0x0E...0xFF} and
       multi-words larger than 255 characters in length.  It can also decompress word-list-compress(1) compatible files.

COMMANDS

       Prezip-bin accepts only one of these commands.

       -V     Display prezip-bin version number to standard output.

       -d     Read a compressed word list from standard input and decompress it to standard output.  This can  be  a  word-list-compress(1)  or  a
	      prezip-bin compressed file.

       -z     Read a binary word list from standard input and compress it to standard output.

EXAMPLES

       prezip-bin -d <wordlist.cwl >wordlist.txt
	      Decompress file wordlist.cwl to text file wordlist.txt

       prezip-bin -z <wordlist.txt >wordlist.pz 2>errors.txt
	      Compress wordlist.txt to binary file wordlist.pz and send any error messages to a text file named errors.txt

       LC_COLLATE=C sort -u <wordlist.txt | prezip-bin -z >wordlist.pz
	      Sort a word list, then pipe it to prezip-bin to create a compressed binary wordlist.pz file.

       prezip-bin -d <words.pz | aspell create master ./words.rws
	      Decompress a wordlist, then pipe it to aspell(1) to create a spelling list.  Please check the aspell(1) info manual for proper usage
	      and options.

TIPS

       Prezip-bin is best used with sorted word list type files.  It is not a general purpose compression program since resulting files may  actu-
       ally increase in size.

       Unlike  word-list-compress(1)  if your word list has leading or trailing blank spaces for formatting purposes, you should remove them first
       before you compress your list using prezip-bin -z , otherwise those spaces will be included in the compressed binary output.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Prezip-bin normally exits with a return code of 0. If it encounters an error, a message is sent to  standard  error  output  (stderr),  and
       prezip-bin exits with a non-zero return value.  Error messages are listed below:

       (display help/usage message)
	      Unknown command given on the command line so prezip-bin displays a usage message to standard error output.

       unknown format
	      The input file appears not to be an expected format, or may possibly be a more advanced format.  The output file will be empty.

       corrupt input
	      This  is	only for the decompression command -d. The input file appeared to be of a correct format, but something appears wrong now.
	      There may be some valid data in output, but due to input corruption, the rest of the file can not be completed.

       unexpected EOF
	      The input file appeared okay but ended sooner than expected, therefore the output file is not complete.
