Diction

Version: 1.0.4a

by: oomp [More]

Diction allows you to specify a list of words to auto-correct as you type.

There's no in-game configuration, so all words must be added via words.lua, which simply requires you to open it in your favourite text editor (e.g. Notepad) and edit as you wish. I've included some example words from this list to get you started, feel free to add your own.

The following is an illustration where "eaxmple" and "snetence" have been specified as words to be automatically corrected...

* * * Be careful not to overwrite your words.lua file when updating! * * *

The only problem I had with it was that there was no easy way for two people to merge their word lists without introducing duplicates. I wrote a small C# program to do this automatically, and have PM'ed one of the admins of this site to see if I can host it here (it's an .exe, but I'm more than willing to put the source out there). As soon as I get word from them, I'll put it up. Edit: It's approved: Get the Diction Word List Merger. Last edited by camperdave : 06-22-09 at 01:30 PM.

IRID1UM A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 12 File comments: 92 Uploads: 0	Hm, that is strange. I've been using the latest version of both addons and it didn't do anything. I'll enable lua errors and check again later, maybe there will be some clue. And yes, thanks, my words list does look like the one you posted, I just copied the snippet I added. In total there are the default words and the ones I added in the correct formatting. Thanks Edit: I got it sorted out, it was an error on my side. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm using Prat myself, and I haven't had any problems. What version are you using? If you're using the latest version (v1.0.2), your words.lua file should look like this:

Code:

Diction_Words = {
	["isnt"] = "isn't",
	["wasnt"] = "wasn't",
	["havent"] = "haven't",
	["didnt"] = "didn't",
	["weild"] = "wield",
	["couldnt"] = "couldn't",
}

This addon doesn't seem to be working with Prat Words I'd have added to the list: ["isnt"] = "isn't", ["wasnt"] = "wasn't", ["havent"] = "haven't", ["didnt"] = "didn't", ["weild"] = "wield", ["couldnt"] = "couldn't", Cheers!

Thanks for the tip, I'll make this change in v1.0.1, and indeed "lightening" is a word, an oversight on my part!

High Five A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 30 Uploads: 2	I suggest you replace line 27-30 with: Code: if current:find(" "..k.."$") then msg = current:gsub(" "..k.."$", " "..v) ChatFrameEditBox:SetText(msg) elseif current:find("^"..k.."$") then msg = current:gsub(k, v) ChatFrameEditBox:SetText(msg) end That will make it only check the final word, getting rid of the paladindindins, etc. Also, FYI, there is a word "lightening".

That is, add a space after each word, the only problem with this solution is if "pala" is the last word in the sentence, you'll need to add an extra space in order to replace it, otherwise it should work.

Ah, thanks didn't think of that

Similarly, as with the "pala " example, " lock" won't be replaced if it's at the start of the sentence, unless a space is added before it. Last edited by oomp : 06-09-09 at 02:47 PM.
