Command-line Spell-Checker?


Does anyone know of a spell checker that can be run at the command line on text documents?

I have a number of HTML files that need their content spell-checking, and I don't fancy the thought of copying & pasting the data from the HTML file to Open Office and back.

The standard Unix tool is "spell".

My SuSE Linux distribution comes with the alternative package "ispell". There are also several other variants, such as "aspell" or "myspell" that might work for you.

'Hope that helps .. PSM
