[SOLVED] Automatic Dictionary

brainAcid · 05-24-2011, 05:25 PM

Hello LinuxQ's community!

I would like to automate a definition process. I have 11,581 to define. :|

I would like to read each word, copy the definition(s) and append it next or below the word or save definitions to file.

The word list has one word per line.

Python script?
Bash?
Perl?

Its an interesting project but I cant seem to figure it out. Lack of programming skills.

If I can get this done I wouldnt mind donating for the help.

Thanks

Something like

Quote:

read $wordFILE
for word in $wordFILE
do
curl dict://dict.org/d:$word >> $outFILE

Not a programmer... =-(
