Spell checking a file or all files within a specified folder

Check spelling using hunspell. A new print method is also used.

Usage

SpellCheckFiles(file = ".", ignore = character(), 
    local.ignore = TRUE, global.ignore = TRUE) 

# S3 method for wordlist
print(x, ...)

Arguments

file

The filename of an individual file, or an individual folder.

ignore

The character vector of words to be ignored by hunspell

local.ignore

Use a local file of words to be ignored. This file has the same name as the file with .ignore.txt tacked on the end and is colocated with the file being checked. If the file argument is set to a folder then the local.ignore can be set to the name of a file in the current working directory.

global.ignore

Use the global word list called words.ignore.txt found in the MyBrailleR folder

x

the object to be printed

...

other parameters pass to the print method

Value

A list object with each item of the list being the findings from spell checking each file. The words not found in the dictionary are given as well as the line numbers where they were found.

Details

The global list of words to be ignored needs to be saved in the user's MyBrailleR folder. It can be updated as often as the user likes. It should have one word per line, and contain no space, tab or punctuation characters.
