RE: [U2] Unidata - handler for mistyped commands?
To consolidate your ideas then, you don't want to write a shell, you don't want to change the voc, and you do want it to change? Ha ha Easiest is to write a shell, but along the lines of the spell checker : - use soundex to look for similarities, - file: key= soundex'd names. - file: line 1: all other possible related soundex values - file: record=each line a possible prog - if one prog only, call it. - if multiprogs, offer browse list Any choices must then update the files - with a little learning logic in a short while it should be easy to find any program in the shortest time. Library systems use soundex to do just this, eg when non-English speakers are searching for English books. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Anderegg Sent: 01 July 2008 07:22 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] Unidata - handler for mistyped commands?

Hello, Within Unidata, is there any way to intercept commands typed at the command prompt if they aren't recognised?

RE: [U2] Unidata - handler for mistyped commands?
Well - thanks, I guess. Regarding the internal workings, yes - it would need to work along those lines, especially the 'learning logic' part. As for not wanting to write a shell, not wanting to change the voc - you're right - my original question (perhaps poorly phrased) was an enquiry as to whether there was an existing mechanism in unidata to call a handler routine in the event of an unrecognised command being entered. Whilst I've never come across such a thing, nor seen anything that suggests it might even exist, I had hoped that someone on the list might be able to give a definitive answer either way.
