Hi all,

I've just finished working on a tool called sspell (stands for source code spell checker) for a project of mine. This tool extracts text from comments and string literals in source code files and checks them for spelling. Very useful in my case when you have a lot of resourcestrings, comments or literals in your source code.

Please note that I have written this tool only in a couple of hours and bugs may certainly be present. Also there are a number of features missing and improvements pending (some of them mentioned in the readme on the project page).

However I would like to share the tool with anyone interested already at this early stage. All relevant files are present here: https://github.com/daar/sspell for anyone to review and comment

If you find this tool interesting and would like to contribute, please either send me a patch or make a pull request. Remarks can be directed to this ML.

Enjoy!

Rgds, Darius

It is already doable in CudaText editor:

- install plugin SpellChecker [not ready for Win64]

- open Pas file, call spell-checker plugin

- it hilites only errs in comments/strings (and can call suggestion dlg to fix em).

How does it hilite? Within the source editor?

Quite a lot of modern code editors have such a feature already, which is good. However, this means that one needs to manually point and click each highlighted error. Sspell will make it possible to interactively scan a file or even a complete folder recursively and fix errors as they are detected.
