Using voikkospell with apertium Stream Format

Invoke voikkospell with --apertium-stream.

Unlike in normal voikkospell usage, each word does not need to be on its own line.

Examples

Trailing Newline

$ echo '' | voikkospell --apertium-stream
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Apertium::ApertiumStream::Unexpe
ctedReservedCharacter'
  what():  1:1: unexpected '\n', '\n' expected to follow '['


^
Aborted

For this reason, when piping text directly to voikkospell --apertium-stream, use echo -n. Tools such as apertium-deshtml do not print a trailing newline.

One could also escape the newline:

$ echo '\' | voikkospell --apertium-stream

$ echo -n '^a/*a$' | voikkospell --apertium-stream
W: a
