	Is it possible to correct word(s) via Perl?Does this kind of modules exist? like following function(C format function just demonstrates the task): char * alter(char ) input: "taxxi" return: "taxi" input "mov1e" return: "movie" On Jun 5, 6:15 pm, mike <needpass@gmail.com> wrote: > like following function(C format function just demonstrates the task): > char alter(char *) > input: "taxxi" return: "taxi" > input "mov1e" return: "movie" Is this what you're looking for? http://search.cpan.org/~hank/Text-Aspell-0.08/Aspell.pm Paul Lalli Very likely. Thanks a lot, Paul, I will check it out if it works this way. Seems that no module has the capability to revise words:-( On Jun 5, 6:59 pm, mike <needpass@gmail.com> wrote: > Seems that no module has the capability to revise words:-( Well of course not. How is any module supposed to know if I say 'gaughter' whether I meant to type 'daughter' or 'laughter'? Human beings know based on context. It would take a seriously advanced AI program to be able to understand context of any random block of text to be able to decide which possible misspelling was intended. On the other hand, if your typo is something like 'taxxi' as in your example, and the module's suggestions() method only returns one possible correction, it's pretty simple to write a program to make the replacement for you.
