Jonathan:
Can you share your spell checker with us? or is this proprietary?
(put it on line somewhere or send to me off list?)
I don't care if it is not polished in terms of the UI, as long the
basic algorithms and scripts are accessible, I can put it to work..
basically I have a single field I am checking and would like to get
a) mis-spelled words flagged in that field
b) a suggestion list--(very basic, that segment of the alphabet would
do... right, I know... not very smart and all the "s's" could be a
long suggestion list, but my implementation will let them view two
different suggestion lists, one the "common" English dict and two, a
specialized words list... the latter will be short...

Hi Derek,
Just a suggestion for your spellchecker - because I have one I created
for work and I made this change and now it moves much much faster.
In one of the recent informal coding challenges, one of the rev users
(I'm sorry, I cannot remember who it was) came up with a cool way of
doing mass comparisons.
Basically, you can load the entire word list into an array, in which
each element of the array is named for the word, and the content of
each
element is the word "true"
Something like this:
Repeat for each word tWord in tWordList
Put true into tWordArray[tWord]
End repeat
Then when you go to do the comparison for a given word, you do this
If not tWordArray[tWordToCheck] then
-- hilite the word, or whatever
End if
This was much faster than checking to see if the word was contained
in a
list, and is nice because it is not particularly slowed down by
having a
very large word list. You might already be using this method, so my
apologies if I am pointing out the obvious to you.
Cheers,
J

But I never did get from you what you had done so far, per your memo:

Sivaktirswami,
Let me first apologize for the time it has taken me to get back to
you.
My main computer's hard drive is corrupted and I spend the better
part
of 2 days attempting to get as many files off of it as possible
(Mostly
my iTunes Library).
I do have a back up that is recent enough to include the Spell
Checker,
but I cannot give it out at this point. I have not forgotten about
you,
as well as the other Revolution Developers, and I am working to get
the
Spell Checker finished. It would be a valuable tool for Revolution
that
really should have been included a long time ago in the development
package.
