| '''RegExTypoFix''' ('''''R'''egular '''E'''xpression '''T'''ypographical error '''F'''ixer'', or '''RETF''') is a set of over 1600 regular expressions used to automatically fix common typos and misspellings. It is built into ]. Anyone who can use ] can use RegExTypoFix. It is also easily ported into any application that supports regular expression strings. | |||
| The lofty goal of RETF is to be completely automatic. That is, 100% accuracy. Some day it may be built into programs that want basic spellchecking without user input. | |||
| RETF is completely manually compiled. By spellchecking articles/talk pages with Microsoft Word, and seeing which typos are the most common then adding those. I can add about 35 new words an hour. Example of how it works: <br><code>find="\b(D|d)issapoin(t|ts|ted|ting|tment|tments)\b" replacewith="$1isappoin$2" /></code> | |||
| '''The only interaction needed is to review the change and hit save. You can do other stuff while it loads the page in the background.''' | |||
| ==Using RETF== | |||
| RegExTypoFix is updated often, sometimes ''very'' often. AWB can't be updated every day, so I supply supplement setting files with my latest typos. Every time AWB is updated you just throw that XML setting file away until I release my next update. Using the latest version means the most number of fixed words and the least number of errors (that is, zero). | |||
| ===(1) Download supplemental updates=== | |||
| <div>{{User:Mboverload/RegExTypoFix/updatebox}}</div> | |||
| Once you have ] (requires permission to use) '''<big>you can download the latest version of RegExTypoFix </big>''' | |||
| Extract <code>Typos.xml</code> from the ] either using the zip extraction tool provided with XP or use ]. | |||
| Under the new system that Martin (]) developed Typos.xml is separate from the settings file. This way it can be easily swapped out and doesn't interfere with your own person find and replace settings. Put it in the AWB directory. '''It is loaded automatically when you start AWB'''. | |||
| In addition, each Typos.xml file comes coded with a version number. Perhaps in some future release AWB will be able to check to see if there's an update for you! | |||
| ===(2) Monitor for new versions between AWB releases (highly recommended)=== | |||
| To ensure you have the latest version please choose whichever option you deem appropriate. | |||
| # Put ] on your watchlist | |||
| # Get an (requires a free ] account) | |||
| # '''BEST:''' Get the version I'm using that second with .<br> | |||
| ##Install TortoiseSVN | |||
| ##Right click in an empty folder > SVN Checkout | |||
| ##Type in <code>https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/regextypofix/</code>, and hit ok. | |||
| ##'''Right click in folder > SVN Update''' every time for the latest version and change notes. | |||
| ===(3) Get started=== | |||
| # Start AutoWikiBrowser | |||
| # More Options tab > Enable RegExTypoFix | |||
| # More Options tab > Skip article when no typo fixed | |||
| # Start tab > Summary box dropdown list > Select <code><nowiki>]</nowiki></code> | |||
