run together limit

[ragefuljoe]

I'm trying to get raspell working and recognize long strings of run-together words. Using this to init:

speller.set_option("run-together-limit","30")

However it's hanging on anything over 2.

When you say "hanging" what exactly do you mean? It can't get past the speller.set_option line? Or it works, but when you try to spell check a word it hangs? (Also, might not be related, but from Aspell's source it looks like the maximum you can use is 8, if you enter anything bigger, it just reduces it to 8):

static PosibErr<void> run_together_limit(SpellerImpl * m, int value) {
  if (value > 8) {
    m->config()->replace("run-together-limit", "8");
    // will loop back
  } else {
    m->run_together_limit_ = value;
  }
  return no_err;
}

It's hanging when it tries to process a string with three or more words. In my instance, the word variable seems to be empty after word = speller.suggest(word).first

Can you provide the exact code and words you're using to trigger this?

Just using a test strong of elephantapplefrog

Ok, so I'm assuming that it's not actually "hanging" in the sense that you're getting a lock-up or the program stops responding or anything; instead, you're just getting nil back when you expect elephant applefrog, correct?

It looks like you need to set an additional option if you want to use a run-together-limit greater than 2:

speller.set_option("run-together-limit", "8")
speller.set_option("run-together", "true") # defaults to false

Well the app actually does stop running. I can't figure it out at all.

update*

Ok so if I add the options you listed it doesn't hang. However I guess what I was trying to do was get it to split the words. For example in "elephantapplefrog" it should produce "elephant apple frog".

If I take out the run-together option, it works like I want for two word strings, but hangs on 3 or more. If I add the options, it doesn't hang but also doesn't split up the words.

If I change
speller.suggestion_mode = Aspell::SLOW
to
speller.set_option("sug-mode","bad-spellers")

it returns "elephant".

thanks for the help
