Remove word from spell_checker

The built in deault spell-checker (OS X 10.7.2) seems to think the word "Adrain" is correctly spelled. How can I remove this word from it's dictionary? Note this is NOT a question about personal dictionary additions or learned words. I do not see an "Unlearn Spelling" option for this word. Also, I am UNIX savy so directions that involve manually editing files would be fine.

I am running 10.6.8 and this screen shot shows where my LocalDictionary is located.
It is Homefolder\Library\Spelling\LocalDictionary.
Back when I was running Tiger, that file was called something else, and I used TextEdit to change it.
I do not know if SnowLeopard works same.
I just tested it, and I'd say that it works same, that is I edited it with TextEdit.

Remove words from file

Hello, I have created a class which is supposed to be an array of stopwords (words that I want to remove from a file).
Then I want to create another class which reads in a file. It reads the file. Then it looks through the array of stopwords. If it encounters a word in the file which is the same as the word in the array, it replaces it with nothing.
I want this class to be separate from the main class so that in the main class,I can specify any file, and the stopwords will be removed. Here is some code, thanks
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class StopWordArray {
     //This class represents an array of stopwords
     //The stopwords are read from a text file into an array
     private String [] tokens;
     //constructor
    public StopWordArray(){
         try{
//         open input stream
         File inputFile = new File("/home/myrmen/workspace/Chisquare/extract/stopWordList.txt");
         InputStream inStream = new FileInputStream(inputFile);
         InputStreamReader inreader = new InputStreamReader(inStream, "8859_1");
         BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(inreader);
        String line;
        //Fills array
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
        StringTokenizer st1 = new StringTokenizer(line);
        int numberOfElements = st1.countTokens();
         tokens = new String[ numberOfElements ];
        int index = 0;
         while( st1.hasMoreTokens() )
           String element = st1.nextToken();
         tokens[ index ] = element;
                   index ++;
        reader.close();
     catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }
import java.io.*;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class RemoveStop {
     //Fields
     private StopWordArray myArray = new StopWordArray();
    private String myString;
     //Constructor
    public RemoveStop(String myString){
import java.io.*;
public class Main {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          StopWordArray theWords = new StopWordArray();
        theWords.printArray();
        String file = "/home/myrmen/workspace/Chisquare/extract/Turing";
        RemoveStop remove = new RemoveStop(file);
}

Ok, here is an update:
private String [] tokens;
   //Method which returns each element in the array as a string
    public String word()
    String word = null;
    for(int i = 0; i < tokens.length; i++)
    word = tokens.toString();
return word;
public void readFile(){
String output = null;
StringTokenizer st1 = new StringTokenizer(aString);
while(st1.hasMoreTokens())
String element = st1.nextToken();
//System.out.println(myArray.word());
if(element.equals(myArray.word()))
output = element.replaceAll(myArray.word(), "WAY");
//else{System.out.println("ERROR");
System.out.println(output);
But with the readFile() method, I only access the LAST element of the array. How can I iterate through the whole array, and search for the words that are stored in the array in the input file?

Remove word from firefox dictionary

In the dictionary I had installed, there are misspelled words. Originally, I thought I have added them accidentally, however, after going to my profile (%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\as6zjsxj.default) and editing persdict.dat I found out that they come from the original dictionary, not my modifications.
I just don't understand why there's no "Remove from dictionary" context menu item.

You can use Add to Dictionary to add you own modifications to the spell checker.
To modify entries in the built-in or in an installed dictionary you would have to edit the used dictionary file directly on disk, either in the dictionaries folder in the Firefox program folder or in the extensions folder in the Firefox profile folder.

HT2496 How do I remove words from my personal dictionary?

I added a mispelled word to my Dictionary using the "Add to Dictionary" menu option. I need to remove it now and can't figure out how to.

Stored in /Users/"username"/Library/Spelling/LocalDictionary
Open it in TextEdit and delete the erroneous entry. Getting to the stupidly hidden Library folder is left as an exercise. I've permanently unhid it using this Terminal command:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Might take a restart to take affect.

How to remove word from personal dictionary?

I've searched online for this and it almost sounds like it can't be done in DW CS5, but that just seems crazy. I added a word to my dictionary that can be spelled two ways and now, for consistency sake, want to remove one version.   Can anyone tell me if this is possible and how?
Thank you.

Thanks, Nancy, but that's for older versions.   According to Adobe, "Dreamweaver does not provide a way of deleting entries that have been added to personal dictionaries."
Maybe I'm just stubborn, but I found it hard to believe that if you accidently add a word you can never remove it. What if you accidently clicked to add something that wasn't spelled correctly? As I was replying to you, I poked around some more and found in C:\Users\my name\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\Adobe Custom Dictionary\eng (I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, so your location may vary). a file called added.clam. There is also an added.txt and exceptions.txt but there's nothing in them.
I copied added.clam and renamed it to added.clam_Copy.txt. Opened it up with Notepad and sure enough, my word is in there! But there are other markings in there that I don't know what they mean. I edited my word out and when I ran spell check in DW it stopped on a word that I had left in my personal dictionary.   I didn't have that many in so I went back and cleaned them all out and saved a blank added.clam.   Then when I went back to DW, ran it again, and added the words I want.
There might be a cleaner way to fix the problem, but that worked for me. It seems crazy that Adobe doesn't allow you to edit the dictionary but if someone using CS5 is really stuck, this will work!

How to remove words which consist of max 2 letters?

Hi everybody,
Is it possible to remove words from string which consist of max 2 letters using REGEXP_REPLACE?
For example string is 'aa bbb cc dddd' and result should be ' bbb dddd' (3 spaces) or 'bbb dddd' (1 space). It does not matter which one of results.
Or exists another method to achieve this?
Thank you.
Matus.

Try this.. should work for even punctuations and digits etc.
It might be done more simpler but this is my try.
Combined Anthony Wilson and Tom kyte:-)
WITH t AS
     ( SELECT 'aaa''123 bb cc dddd l mmmm' l
        FROM DUAL )
SELECT     MAX ( SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH ( word, ' ' )) scbp
      FROM ( SELECT word, ROWNUM rn
              FROM ( SELECT    REGEXP_SUBSTR ( l
                                             , '[[:alpha:][:graph:]]+'
                                             , 1
                                             , LEVEL
                                             ) word
                          FROM t
                    CONNECT BY LEVEL <=
                                    LENGTH ( REGEXP_REPLACE ( l, '[^ ]', '' ))
                                  + 1 )
             WHERE LENGTH ( word ) > 2 )
START WITH rn = 1
CONNECT BY PRIOR rn = rn - 1G.

How do i remove a stadard word from a spell check dictionary?

even thought its a real word and spelled correctly i want to be highlighted if i type it.
I'm using the standard English(united states) dictionary.
i also have low technical skill.
i meant to type "dog" but i actually typed "dong" and it lead to some embarrassment , i want it to remove it as a standard word from my spellchecker , Ive got a few I'm thinking of removing , as a just in case kind of thing.
Thanks guys

Yes, editing that file works. Because the line breaks are not traditional DOS line breaks, you should not use Notepad as your editor. Instead, try this:
(1) With Firefox closed, open the Start menu to All Programs > Accessories
(2) Right-click Wordpad and choose Run as Administrator, give yourself permission when prompted by Windows
(3) Navigate Wordpad's Open dialog to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\dictionaries and change the file type to all files (or type *.* in the box and press Enter) so you can open en-US.dict
(4) Search in the page (Ctrl+f) for dong/ (it's not the first one) then add XYZ between dong and /
''The reason for this is so you can easily find and undo your changes by searching for XYZ/ or globally replacing that back to / if needed.''
(5) Save and then restart Firefox. If spellcheck seems to work correctly, you can close Wordpad. If not, you might want to undo your changes in Wordpad (you might or might not be able to save that with Firefox open).

How do i remove a word from spell check in OS X 10.4?

Hi all, I accidentally added a misspelled word to the spell check dictionary and i was wondering how to remove it.
I noticed there were already a few similar questions, but i could not get their solutions to work, as they were obviously using a new version of OS X.
So does anyone know how to remove a word from from spell check in OS x 10.4? or else how to reset the spell check?
Cheers.

OK, if you are talking about the Apple spell checker, do the following:
Open an application like TextEdit. Right click in the application window and you will get a popup. Select Spelling and then Spelling... to get a Spelling Dialog Box.
Type in the mis-spelled word in the text box and then click the Forget button. That should undo the mischief.

Batch remove word doc pages from library

Hi,
I see there are ways to batch remove or add information to word docs and i have successfully removed the cover page from word docs and put into one document. Is there any way to remove cover and end pages from word docs in a batch? I need to
remove the cover pages of over 300 documents and then the last 2 or 3 pages as well.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
thupard

Deleting the first page is no problem, especially if it's in its own Section. Removing pages from the end of the document is likewise no problem in and of itself, but the '2 or 3 pages' isn't something VBA can be left to decide for itself - it needs rules
that tell it how to decide whether to delete 2 pages or to delete 3 pages. If Section breaks at the end of the document are involved, matters can become complicated when header/footer content and differences in page layout need to be considered.
Cheers

We removed Pages from the computer, but now we can't open Word documents directly. The computer keeps bringing up an alert that it can't find Pages to open the document.

We removed Pages from my husband's computer, but now when he tries to open documents that were created in Word, we can't open them directly, only through the Word Dialogue box. The computer keeps bringing up an alert that it can't find Pages to open the document.

Select one of the documents. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With panel select Word from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button. This should fix the problem.

Removing a word from Dictionary

Hi,
can anyone suggest how I can remove a word from the UK Dictionary.
There appears to be a word in the User Dictionary that isn't coming up when spell checked but cannot be seen in Added, Removed or Ignored words in the UK dictionary! What should I do in order to get this word spell checked again, please?
This issue appears in new, and existing Indesign documents.
InDesign CS4 (Mac) v.6.0.4

Dictionaries are stored in .clam format in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Linguistics/Dictionaries/Adobe Custom Dictionary.
There's a 3-letter designation for the language and then files like added.clam and exception.txt. These are in Proximity Dictionary format.
I would start by exporting your current user dictionary to a file, with Edit -> Spelling -> Dictonary... and then Export...;
check the file and see if it contains oolong (or a variant). If so, remove it, and then Import... with the Replace Dictionary checkbox.
If that doesn't work, make a backup copy of your user dictionary (at the above path), and then delete that file. Check and make sure you're OK. Then try importing the user dictionary wors you care about.
If you're still sunk, well, you could reinstall InDesign...

How can I remove malware from my computer?

I can't go to google mail page. I can't search words with any browser because nothing happen. I think it is malware. I tried spy bot-SD. But no result. Please tel me how can remove malware from my computer.

Try running malwarebytes, if that doesn't work.
Simply restore your system to the checkpoint before this happened. It's easy, On Windows 7, I just had to do it to get rid of the rogue program 'Antimalware Doctor'. Go to Start > ALL Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore click next and select the restore point prior to the time the infection occurred. Mine took only 5-7 minutes to run.
If you don't have Windows 7, you still can get to the System Restore by finding the location of your Accessories, normally System Restore is under this.
