Hi Mark, These days I had fun with an f:binSearch() function and then, logically, with f:spell(). I have a dictionary of about 47000 English wordforms, on which I search with f:binSearch() I had to produce a faster fn than the current quadratical str-split-to-words template -- this is the f:getWords() function. All these functions can be downloaded from the FXSL CVS (just let me know if you'd want me to send you the zip archive). The combination of these functions works quite well. This transformation (test-FuncSpell.xsl): <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:f="http://fxsl.sf.net/" exclude-result-prefixes="f xs" > <xsl:import href="../f/func-getWords.xsl"/> <xsl:import href="../f/func-spell.xsl"/> <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/> <xsl:variable name="vDelim" as="xs:string"> ,:.-	 '!?;</xsl:variable> <!-- To be applied on ../data/othello.xml --> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:variable name="vwordNodes" as="element()*"> <xsl:for-each select="//text()/lower-case(.)"> <xsl:sequence select="f:getWords(., $vDelim, 1)"/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="vUnique" as="xs:string+"> <xsl:perform-sort select="distinct-values($vwordNodes)"> <xsl:sort select="."/> </xsl:perform-sort> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="vnotFound" as="xs:string*" select="$vUnique[not(f:spell(.))]"/> <xsl:value-of separator="
" select="$vnotFound"/> A total of <xsl:value-of select="count($vwordNodes)"/> words were spelt, (<xsl:value-of select="count($vUnique)"/>) distinct. <xsl:value-of select="count($vnotFound)"/> not found. </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> when applied on othello.xml (around 29000 words) produces this result: Saxon 8.3 from Saxonica Java version 1.5.0_01 Stylesheet compilation time: 1140 milliseconds Processing file:/C:\xml\Parsers\Saxon\Ver.8.3\samples\data\othello.xml Building tree for file:/C:\xml\Parsers\Saxon\Ver.8.3\samples\data\othello.xml using class net.sf.saxon.tinytree.TinyBuilder Tree built in 94 milliseconds Tree size: 18539 nodes, 154557 characters, 0 attributes Building tree for file:/C:/CVS-DDN/fxsl-xslt2/f/func-getWords.xsl using class net.sf.saxon.tinytree.TinyBuilder Tree built in 0 milliseconds Tree size: 43 nodes, 143 characters, 22 attributes Building tree for file:/C:/CVS-DDN/fxsl-xslt2/data/dictEnglish.xml using class net.sf.saxon.tinytree.TinyBuilder Tree built in 188 milliseconds Tree size: 139140 nodes, 528397 characters, 0 attributes Execution time: 7015 milliseconds <a-list-of-567-unknown-words-ommitted/> A total of 28622 words were spelt, (3669) distinct. 567 not found. So, checking 3669 distinct words in 7015 milliseconds makes 523.02 words/sec. The actual speed is faster, as the total time includes splitting up the words and finding the distinct words. Among the unknown words are such nice words as: affordeth affrighted ariseth arithmetician arrivance bethink betimes bewhored :o) Cheers, Dimitre
