Package: vim
Version: 6.0.270-1
Severity: normal
The above script has several bugs, including incorrect syntax and bad
parameter substitution for LOCAL_DICT (if the variable is defined, _no_
alternate dictionary will be used.) Here is a rewrite with a number of
improvements (faster, works in files with "syntax on", bugs fixed, etc.) A
modified "vimspell.txt" is also appended.

#
# I use the following mappings (in .vimrc):
#
# no <F7> :syntax off<CR>:so `vimspell.sh %`<CR><CR>
# no <F8> :syntax clear SpellErrors<CR>:syntax on<CR>

Here is the text file.

vimspell.sh
===========
This is a simple script to spell check a file and generate the syntax
statements necessary to highlight the errors in vim. It is based on a
similar program by Neil Schemenauer <nascheme@ucalgary.ca>, which was in
turn based onone by Krishna Gadepalli <krishna@stdavids.picker.com>.
To use this script, first place it in a directory in your path. Next,
you should add some convenient key mappings. I use the following (in
~/.vimrc):
no <F7> :syntax off<CR>:so `vimspell.sh %`<CR><CR>
no <F8> :syntax clear SpellErrors<CR>:syntax on<CR>
This program uses the "spell" command. On my Debian system, "spell" is a
wrapper around "ispell", and has different syntax from some other versions
of "spell" that I've seen in the past; the part that can go wrong in the
script is the one that specifies the "alternate dictionary":
ARGS="--dictionary=$LOCAL_DICT"
If your version of "spell" uses different syntax for specifying one, simply
change the "--dictionary=" part to correct it.

X-Spam-Level:
I'm closing this bug since vimspell.sh is no longer part of the vim
distribution and it is no longer in debian.
Users interested in spell checking inside vim should have a look, for
example, at the vimspell plugin:

Cheers.
