Add a basic regular expression engine to the dictiter, and to the UI add
the ability to filter for "starts with", "contains" and "ends with",
which translate into ANDed RE_*, _*RE_* and _*RE, respectively (with
_ standing for blank/wildcard). The engine's tightly integrated with the
next/prevWord() functions for greatest possible speed, but unless
there's no pattern does slow things down a bit (especially when "ENDS
WITH" is used.) The full engine is not exposed (users can't provide raw
REs), and while the parser will accept nesting (e.g. ([AB]_*[CD]){2,5}
to mean words from 2-5 tiles long starting with A or B and ending with C
or D) the engine can't handle it. Which is why filtering for word length
is handled separately from REs (but also tightly integrated.)
Users can enter strings that don't map to tiles. They now get an
error. It made sense for the error alert to have a "Show tiles"
button, so there's now a dialog listing all the tiles in a wordlist,
something the browser has needed all along.
Hungarian is unique (so far) in having two-letter tiles that can be
spelled with one-letter tiles AND in allowing words to be spelled both
ways. This crashed search based on strings because there were
duplicates. So now search is done by tile arrays. Strings are first
converted, and then IFF there is more than one tile array result AND the
wordlist has the new flag indicating that duplicates are possible, THEN
the user is asked to choose among the possible tile spellings of the
search string.
For some reason the header and dawg data in Spanish wordlist don't
agree. Until I fix this, remove the assertion from the (dev-use-only)
script that dumps wordlist since it breaks it for other uses.
Find-prefix feature in current code crashes on Hungarian because it
allows duplicates (words that occur spelled with the same letters but
different tile combinations.) Modify Makefile to exclude those (as it
does for all other multi-letter-tile languages). And to pull the git
source of the wordlist on demand.
For Hungarian, there are "duplicate" words because e.g. the string CS
can be spelled with two tiles or one. If a delimiter is printed at tile
boundaries the duplication goes away.
Add Makefile filters to create a wordlist with about 42K words derived
from a github project (thanks to pointers from an informant. :-) Per
him, and contrary to how Catalan does it, double-letter-tile words
also appear in single-letter variants if the tiles allow.
For whatever reason, though emacs thought the lower- and uppercase
strings I was passing to tr were the same but for case two letters were
getting dropped. This lets tr figure things out itself.
