Misspelled words and find and replace tool and Grep

[Dandalo]

Hi, anyone knows if it is possible to find misspelled words with find and replace tool?

Typing a grep command and find the "misspelled word"...

[James Gifford—NitroPress]

Find/Replace will search for any string you give it, whether it's a correct word or a string of gibberish.

I don't think any GREP or regex string can find words "flagged as mispelled" if that's what you mean.

Grep is not used normally for working with misspelled words. See the following article, it should help you figure out some alternate/better way to achieve what you are trying to do

Also, if you could share what you are trying to do exactly then we could make some suggestions.

What is your goal here? Why is Spell Check not suitable?

His goal, probably, was to locate all mispelled words and, automatically, give some caracter style for them. For those who make books – and I am one of them –, it will be good to have a way to do that.
