Perl version
I should mention that this works for 10.4. I haven't upgraded yet, just about backed up and ready to go. So the 10.5 dictionary may be in a different place and may be a different format.
The command switches are documented in "man perlrun". -n makes perl read the input file in a while loop until the file is read completely. -e indicates the next argument is a script. The regex looks for a pattern like which indicates an entry in the dictionary. The actual entry word is between the last 2 double quotes which is caught by the brackets and referenced by the $1 in the while loop. The /g modifier at the end of the regex allows the while loop to loop through the file. The $a is needed to retain the "word" through another regex. The backslash-b's makes the regex the equivalent of -w. Is that clear? Perl is a strange language.

The dictionary indeed has a slightly different name in 10.5 but I corrected that already. |
