NAME
ispellaff2myspell - A program to convert ispell affix tables to myspell
format.
SYNOPSIS
ispellaff2myspell [options] <affixfile> --myheader your_header
Options:
--affixfile=s Affix file
--bylocale Use current locale setup for upper/lowercase
conversion
--charset=s Use specified charset for upper/lowercase
conversion (defaults to latin1)
--debug Print debugging info
--extraflags=s Allow some non alphabetic flags
--lowercase=s Lowercase string
--myheader=s Header file
--printcomments Print commented lines in output
--replacements=s Replacements file
--split=i Split flags with more that i entries
--uppercase=s Uppercase string
DESCRIPTION
ispellaff2myspell is a script that will convert ispell affix tables to
myspell format in a more or less successful way.
This script does not create the dict file. Something like
( echo ‘cat mydict.words+ | wc -l‘; cat mydict.words+ ) > mydict.dict
should do the work, with mydict.words+ being the munched wordlist
OPTIONS
--affixfile=s
Affix file. You can put it directly in the command line.
--bylocale
Use current locale setup for upper/lowercase conversion. Make
sure that the selected locale match the dictionary one, or you
might get into trouble.
--charset=s
Use specified charset for upper/lowercase conversion (defaults
to latin1). Currently allowed values for charset are: latin0,
latin1, latin2, latin3.
--debug Print some debugging info.
--extraflags:s
Allows some non alphabetic flags.
When invoked with no value the supported flags are currently
those corresponding to chars represented with the escape char \
as first char. \ will be stripped.
When given with the flag prefix will allow that flag and strip
the given prefix. Be careful when giving the prefix to properly
escape chars, e.g. you will need -e "\\\\" or -e ’\\’ for flags
like \[ to be stripped to [. Otherwise you might even get
errors. Use -e "^" to allow all flags and pass them unmodified.
You will need a call to -e for each flag type, e.g., -e "\\\\"
-e "~\\\\" (or -e ’\\’ -e ’~\\’).
When a prefix is explicitely set, the default value (anything
starting by \) is disabled and you need to enable it
explicitely as in previous example.
--lowercase=s
Lowercase string. Manually set the string of lowercase chars.
This requires --uppercase having exactly that string but
uppercase.
--myheader=s
Header file. The myspell aff header. You need to write it
manually. This can contain everything you want to be before the
affix table
--printcomments
Print commented lines in output.
--replacements=file
Add a pre-defined replacements table taken from ’file’ to the
.aff file. Will skip lines not beginning with REP, and set the
replacements number appropriately.
--split=i
Split flags with more that i entries. This can be of interest
for flags having a lot of entries. Will split the flag in
chunks containing i entries.
--uppercase=s
Uppercase string. Manually set the sring of uppercase chars.
This requires --lowercase having exactly that string but
lowercase.
If your encoding is currently unsupported you can send me a file with
the two strings of lower and uppercase chars. Note that they must match
exactly but case changed. It will look something like
$lowercase='a-zaaaa~aeaaaeceeeeeiiiie`n~oooo~oeouuuueyp';
$uppercase='A-ZAAAA~AeAaCEEEEeIIIIe‐N~OOOO~OeOUUUUeYP';
