Spell checking from within 4gl program
Posted in 1995
} I am looking for a set of C library functions that can be called from } within an Informix 4gl program to do spell checking on a character string. } I believe that at one time Sun Microsystems had some software that would } perform this function. Unfortunately, I do not know what the name of this } Sun software is or was. If you know anything about this software or any } other C spell checking libraries, please let me know. } } Using: } Informix 4gl ver. 4.0 } SunOS 4.1.2 } } TIA, } Dennis } } gross@netcom.com There is a unix command called "spell" which will take a string as its stdin and return the ones it doesn't know (presumably the misspellings). You could call this easily if you can work up the code to handle the returned words in a manner your users would be able to deal with. __________________________________________________________________ | Clem Akins Standard Disclaimers Apply | |Reynolds Metals Co, Alloys Plant "Climb High, Cave Deep!" | | Muscle Shoals, Alabama USA cwakins@leia.alloys.rmc.com | |________________________________________________________________|
