Okay - thanks for your help Pierre. I edited the code as to how you recommended and it works almost perfectly now. My only problem is this:
sh-3.1$ ./wordspell2 testfile
hellio is mispelled. Press Enter to keep spelling, or type a correction here: hello
whio is mispelled. Press Enter to keep spelling, or type a correction here: who
wheter is mispelled. Press Enter to keep spelling, or type a correction here: weather
CORRECTION INCORRECT
hello hellio
whio
wheter
for whatever reason my code only prints out the first correct word, the incorrect word, then the rest is just the incorrect word without the correct work next to it. Here is the script all over again - anything jumping out? Thanks!
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# script that will spell check a file
trap "echo You are trying to exit; exit" 2
array=`ispell -l -p "$HOME/memory.txt" < $1`
correct=()
incorrect=""
let counter=1
for i in ${array[@]}; do
read -p "$i is mispelled. Press "Enter" to keep spelling, or type a correction here: " correction
if [[ "$correction" = "" ]] ; then
echo $i >> "$HOME/memory.txt"
else
correct[$counter]=$correction
echo ${correct[$counter]}
fi
counter+=1
done
echo "CORRECTION INCORRECT"
let count=1
for i in ${array[@]}; do
echo ${correct[$count]} $i
let count+=1
done
I figured it out ... i was using let count+=1 instead of just count+=1.,..stupid mistake...
Now comes the hard parts....
Below is a run of my script (run through twice - once to spell check all the words in a file - then rerun to use the memory.txt file)
sh-3.1$ ./wordspell2 testfile
hellio is mispelled. Press Enter to keep spelling, or type a correction here: hello
whio is mispelled. Press Enter to keep spelling, or type a correction here: who
ege is mispelled. Press Enter to keep spelling, or type a correction here:
wheter is mispelled. Press Enter to keep spelling, or type a correction here: weather
1correct[*]
CORRECTION INCORRECT
hello hellio
who whio
ege ************************
weather wheter
The ege line should NOT print - this word is actually the name of my professor and therefore should be saved into the memory.txt file (which it does - but then NOT printed as part of the CORRECTION INCORRECT section).
Im assuming because of the use of the $array in the last part is the cause of this. Is there any way to get around this? Maybe use a second array and when the user enters a correction?
Any ideas? Im completely confused now - getting there though just need another little push!
Script as of now:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# script that will spell check a file
trap "echo You are trying to exit; exit" 2
array=`ispell -l -p "$HOME/memory.txt" < $1`
correct=()
incorrect=""
let counter=1
for i in ${array[@]}; do
read -p "$i is mispelled. Press "Enter" to keep spelling, or type a correction here: " correction
if [[ "$correction" = "" ]] ; then
echo $i >> "$HOME/memory.txt"
else
correct[$counter]=$correction
#echo ${correct[counter]}
fi
counter+=1
done
echo "CORRECTION INCORRECT"
let count=1
for i in ${array[@]}; do
echo ${correct[$count]} $i
count+=1
done
Guys I am new to Linux in general and want to know what is the use of the following files-:

Are they used by the spell checker to find potential typos ?
If so are there any better larger word lists out there ? I am sure... (2 Replies)
