[Aspell-user] looking for command line syntax to check correct spelling of word or words |

I was told that I could use aspell to get a list of words similiar or the
correct spelling, ie "did you mean?"
I would like to pass in a word or words that a user has entered. Pass in a
file of words that it should use to find words that are possibly the correct
spelling of the word entered.
I would like to output the information to a file or stdout and then parse
the words.
I was told that the aspell program would do this but I can not find the
syntax or commands to create a personal word list to limit the words
returned so that I can display "did you mean?".
Thanks in advance.
The current syntax I have tried is as follows:
c:>aspell --lang=en_US create personal personal_test <mywordlist
c:>aspell --lang=en_US --encoding=utf-8 -p=personal_test -a <c:\pepe.txt
(i have tested the second command without personal (-p) and it has worked
fine. I can not test with a personal list since I have not been able to
create it)
I am using version 0.50.3 alpha on windows.
when I try the syntax to create my personal word list the program exits
with "abnormal program termination"
I have read various articles about the personal word list and I am not sure
what syntax it should be in. I have tried just creating it with a header
and starting the words with '*' and ending the file with # and three empty
lines.
Thanks in advance.
