Homework & Coursework Questions

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:
When "niuspell" is invoked from the command line it reads "file" and checks it for spelling of the words it contains. For each word that is found to be incorrect, the invoker is asked for either: If the invoker insists on the spelling of the word, then niuspell will remember it. niuspell remembers words in the file ".niuspelled" in the invoker's home directory. Any further invocation of niuspell by the same invoker will consider the word to be correct. Otherwise, the invoker is prompted for a replacement spelling. As output, niuspell produces a 2-column-ed list of words, the left column lists incorrectly spelled words, the right column lists their replacement as given by the invoker. The list is produced after the invoker has answered to all incorrectly spelled words....



Everything works fine except the "insisted on words" appear in the "misspelled" column after the first invocation and they are not supposed to. The subsequent invocations don't list the insisted on words in the column, just the actual misspelled words. Any help will be appreciated.




2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:



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

Code:

!# /bin/bash

#variables
corSpel=()
let count=1

#array for spell checker
checker=(`ispell -l -p ~/.checked < $1`)

echo ""

#for loop to correct mispelled words
for i in ${checker[*]}; do
        read -p "$i is mispelled. Press \"Enter\" to keep
this spelling, or type a correction here: " corIn
        if [[ "$corIn" = "" ]] ; then
                echo $i >> ~/.niuspelled
        else
                corSpel[$count]=$corIn
        fi
 count+=1
echo ""
done

#for loop to print the corrected words
printf "MISPELLED %20s\n" CORRECTIONS
echo ""
let counter=1
for i in ${checker[*]}; do
        printf "%-20s%s\n" "$i" "${corSpel[$counter]}"            
 counter+=1
done

4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):
Northern Illinois University, Mr. Ege, csci 330

Note: Without school/professor/course information, you will be banned if you post here! You must complete the entire template (not just parts of it).

When they "insist" on a word you don't assign the corSpel array, so this is your clue (corSpel[counter] is blank), add a test for this when outputting your corrections.
