My goal is to use Aspell 0.60 with a personal dictionary within R. Running WinXP, R 2.15.1, and Cygwin's install of Aspell 0.60. Using a test file with 2/5 words misspelled: SpellTest.txt test text txxt endeavour mytzlplk and dictionary files (aspell.en.pws, and spell.en.prepl respectively) of: personal_ws-1.1 en 0 mytzlplk personal_repl-1.1 en 0 mytzlplk superman and R expression of: SpellOut<- aspell(SpellTest, program=SpellProg, control=c("--master='en_US.multi' --add-extra-dicts='en_GB.multi' ' -p ./aspell.en.pws'")) makes no suggestion for "mytzlplk" but finds "txxt" and allows "endeavour." As seen in:> print(SpellOut$Suggestions)[[1]] [1] "text" "TWX" "TeX" "Tex" "tax" "tux" "taxi" "xxxi" [9] "xxxv" "tax's" "tux's"> summary(SpellOut)Possibly mis-spelled words: [1] "mytzlplk" "txxt" Directly using aspell in the line command within Cygwin terminal finds the personal dictionary just fine: echo "mytzlplk" | aspell -a --master='en_US.multi' -p ./aspell.en.pws Not sure how to get R to recognize the personal dictionary file. Any assistance would be appreciated.
