Import TXT file in User Dictionary

[shilpa25]

Hi Forum,

This is the script I m using for importing txt file in "User Dictionary" but the result is "undefined".

Could anybody help me how to import Txt file in User dictionary.

var myUserDictionaries = app.userDictionaries;

var myCountDict = myUserDictionaries.count();

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

myAddedWords= File("//Users/wleastudio/Desktop/AVIVA_dictionary.txt");

for (var i = myCountDict-1; i >= 0; i-- ) {

    myUserDictionary = myUserDictionaries;

    var myAddedWords = myUserDictionary.addedWords;

    myUserDictionary.addWord[myAddedWords];

}

thanks

Hi,

the addWord-methods expects a array of string. So you've got to open and read the txt. Then split the string to array ...

Shure you want to add those words to every userDictionary regardless of the speech they belong to?

Hi -hans-!

Thank you sir!...

Yes hans i need to import all the speech contains in the text file.

Because I need to detect only the spell errors recently and mistakenly happend while keying text  by one.

So i'll import the total text of the document and after new text has been inserted, check for the spell errors typed recently.

Is that possible, to import the txt file, using script.

thank you sir!..

Hi,

you may try this example for English USA:

var myUserDict = app.userDictionaries[21];//Should be English USA
var txtFile = File('~/Desktop/test.txt');
txtFile.open('r');
wordsArray = txtFile.read().replace(/["'.,:;!?()\/\d\[\]]+/g, ' ').split(/\s+/);//cleaning the text to get only "words" mostly adapted by jongware
txtFile.close();
    myUserDict.addWord(wordsArray)

so long
