[Aspell-user] aspell in non-interactive mode

[Wolfgang Weinhold]

Hi All,

Is it somehow possible to run aspell on Windows XP Professional in
non-interactive mode, i.e. have it to save all suspect words silently to a
separate file and exit when finished?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards
Wolfgang

Just one idea. Aspell has a perl interface.
It is relatively easy to write a little perl program,
that checks a word list, and writes all wrong words
in an other list.

First, of course you must separate all words of
the file to be checked into a one word/line list,
but that is easy using awk or perl.

gawk words very well on windows, also active perl works well there.
Not sure, if the aspell perl interface works on windows,
but i believe yes, it does.

Try "aspell list".

Thank you very much for your helpful advice.

I am still experimenting and was using the following from the command
prompt:
COMMAND.COM /c type c:\<folder name\test1.txt |
c:\progra~1\aspell\bin\aspell -a > c:\<folder name>\misspell.txt

After your reply I replaced aspell -a by aspell list:
COMMAND.COM /c type c:\<folder name\test1.txt |
c:\progra~1\aspell\bin\aspell list > c:\<folder name>\misspell.txt
This works fine and produces the desired results for me.

Example for file test1.txt
This is justt a litle test.
Run: COMMAND.COM /c type c:\<folder name\test1.txt |
c:\progra~1\aspell\bin\aspell list > c:\<folder name>\misspell.txt
Resulting file misspell.txt

litle

Thanks a lot. I will keep that in mind.
For the time being I will use the following from the command prompt:
COMMAND.COM /c type c:\<folder name>\test1.txt |
c:\progra~1\aspell\bin\aspell list > c:\<folder name>\misspell.txt

Best regards
Wolfgang

Thanks for this thread. I knew if I found the correct command I would save a
lot of time.
With Cygwin on Windows, the following command is equivalent:

# cat *.tex | /usr/bin/aspell --mode=tex list | sort > mispelledwords.out

THNX!
