I'm exercising the UITextChecker class to do a quick check on a string for a word-spelling game. Works a little TOO well. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the only methods that operate on this class return "correct" words that also include proper nouns. I would like to check my strings against a list of common words that do NOT include proper nouns. Here's my code so far:
//Test the answer for a word
UITextChecker *checker = [[UITextChecker alloc] init];
NSString *testString = wordString;
NSRange range = NSMakeRange(0,0);
range = [checker rangeOfMisspelledWordInString:[testString lowercaseString]
range:NSMakeRange(0, [testString length])
startingAt:0
wrap:NO
language:@"en_US"];
if (range.location == NSNotFound) {
spelledWord = YES;
} else {
spelledWord = NO;
}
Any help would be appreciated!
Not sure if this is the easiest way but you could put a second condition. First store an array with proper nouns (or other words you don't want) elsewhere in your code do a search on Google if you can't think of them. (I've adapted this slightly from a method i use)
if (range.location == NSNotFound) {
int i = 1;
NSString *p;
foundrand = FALSE;
if ([[MyArray sharedKelArray].Myarray count] >2){
////NSLog(@"GOTTEN - %d", choosennumber);
while(i<[[MyArray sharedKelArray].Myarray count])//would check that if equal
{
p = [[[MyArray sharedKelArray].Myarray objectAtIndex:i] NSString];
NSLog(@"Checking word - %d",p);
if (testString == p){
NSLog(@"Matched");
spelledWord = NO;
i = 5 + [[MyArray sharedKelArray].Myarray count];
}
i+=1;
}
spelledWord = YES;
}
}
}
