Re: [Aspell-user] Format of replacement list

[Dan D.]

Hello,

When uncertain about a spelling, I'm using a small script to pipe a word 
from the command line into:

echo word | aspell -a -t

This produces just the horizontal word list with no commands for visual 
inspection.  One is taken back to the command line without any command.

Almost always the correct spelling is the first word numbered as "0".  If 
it is not misspelled there is no list.

Using "echo" to put the word into a temp.file and then doing:

aspell -c file

Produces the vertical list with commands, misspelled or not.  Depending on 
the word, the correct spelling might be the numbered "1" choice or another 
somewhere in the list.  A command is required to return to the commandline.

Thanks
