vimspell.sh =========== This is a simple script to spell check a file and generate the syntax statements necessary to highlight the errors in vim. It is based on a similar program by Krishna Gadepalli <krishna@stdavids.picker.com>. To use this script, first place it in a directory in your path. Next, you should add some convenient key mappings. I use the following (in .vimrc): noremap <F8> :so `vimspell.sh %`<CR><CR> noremap <F7> :syntax clear SpellErrors<CR> This program requires the old Unix "spell" command. On my Debian system, "spell" is a wrapper around "ispell". For better security, you should uncomment the line in the script that uses "tempfile" to create a temporary file. As all systems don't have "tempfile" the insecure "pid method" is used. Neil Schemenauer <nascheme@ucalgary.ca>
