Re: Ispell did it in my code with a broken pipe, anyone got a clue?

in reply to Ispell did it in my code with a broken pipe, anyone got a clue?

I tried ispell on the command line, and did get an error for 'nis2002':

% ispell -a
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 10/10/95
@nis2002

Word 'nis2002' contains illegal characters

Since this isn't the behavior you're getting, perhaps you have two versions of ispell installed. It could be that the one you get from the command line allows 'nis2002', but the one that Text::Ispell is wrapped around doesn't.

One quick solution is to remove the numbers, and add just 'nis':

% ispell -a
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 10/10/95
nis2002
& nis 18 0: Dis, his, ins, is, n's, NBS, NFS, nib, nibs, NIH, nil, nip
+, nips, nit, nix, NTIS, sis, vis

@nis
nis2002

BTW, I noticed on CPAN that Text::Ispell has been replaced by Lingua::Ispell. I don't know if the new module will fix your problem, but it shouldn't hurt.

Well, when I do a whereis I only get one version, but mine is linked to aspell and acccording to the documentation on ispell home page, nis2002 is valid. However, your output without the aspell connection might have revealed the clue. Text::Ispell apparently gets confused by the connection with aspell. I used Lingua::Ispell per your suggetion, and it worked. IT WORKED! Man, I feel stupid when the answer is that simple. Chipmunk gets major ++ in my book! I admit it, I am Paco.	[reply]
