Re: [9fans] Autoexpand in sam

2021-09-26 Thread Steve Simon


i would use ,|spell which replaces the current window with sam’s output, then, 
having taken note of the errors, type u to undo and fix the mistakes.

this is just personal choice of course.

Thank you Silas. You have helped solve the problem. I was trying to access this 
file after I had exited sam, rather than from within it.

Your error mean spell's  output is too large to fit within sam's command window.

I don't have much experience with spell but I'd suggest correcting some of the 
typos found and running again or opening via B /tmp/sam.err and examining the 
typos found.

2021-09-25 Thread revcomninos
Having spoken of ,>spell I seem now to betting an unusual message. If I run 
,>spell on my current file within sam, I get (sam: more in /tmp/sam.err) . 
Anyone know what this means and how it can be corrected?

Another related convenience is to have a rule
somewhere near the bottom of your plumbing file
that pops up a window and prints the dictionary
listing for the word you plumbed. If I could
remember who it was I would thank the person
who recommended this to me because I use it all
the time.

If you are confident with the first part of a word
look(1) could be handy. You could also write a filter
that transposes letters until it finds a match in
/lib/words.  Some toys along these lines:

For sam, the best bet is to feed text into spell and separately use
dict for partial word match and definitions.

Using acme with aspell and adict helpers (/acme/bin/source) works
reasonably well. Select some text, feed it to aspell (>aspell), then
do partial lookups of the misspelled words in the adict window.

I once wrote a script with several regexp substitutions, but gave up when I 
realised I'd need to implement an entire dictionary. I often typed 'ign' for 
'ing', but words legitimately ending in 'ign' are surprisingly common. I tried 
to make the regexp smarter, but ended up using it on individual words, 
double-clicking each incorrect word and running |ac . This was quick enough in 
Acme, perhaps not bad in Sam. I'd attach the script, but it's long since lost 
now.

[9fans] Autoexpand in sam

2021-09-22 Thread revcomninos
Is there a way to implement autoexpand and autocorrect in sam in any way, i.e. 
for common spelling mistakes and commonly used phrases? 

I don't need anything too sophisticated.

Thanks.
