ispell, fer cryin' out loud!
But -- what happens if you mispell, er, misspell?! Gentle OX X user, do this: fink install ispell Then at yer shell prompt: % ispell which will greet you helpfully with: @(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 08/01/01 word: Entering "mispell" at the "word:" prompt returns: how about: ispell, misspell word: (We can charitably forgive the program's mild hubris at taking its name to be a word.) ispell takes a filename as an argument, so if you want a quick single line command, put the following in a file called, e.g., "spellchk" in /usr/local/bin: #!/bin/sh echo $1 | ispell Be sure to "chmod 755" it so it'll execute. Now, since in good unixy fashion what "echo" returns with a string as an argument is essentially a file containing that string, % spellchk mispell from the command line will return the suggestions above. Solicitously, TXLogic |
