Is it possible to detect wrong spelled words like this:

[orbitcowboy]

$ more test.cpp
enum
{
ID_ESTABLISED = 0;
};

$ more dictionary.txt

establised->established

$ codespell.py dictionary.txt
$

In this case codespell does not detect the error. But if i remove the preceeding ID_ from the enum definition, codespell is able
to detect the error. Is it possible to detect the errror without modification of the code?
Many thanks in advance

Right now it's not possible. With the following patch it would detect misspellings, but it fixing the word doesn't work. If you find the right regex, I could apply this patch

diff --git a/codespell.py b/codespell.py
index daec448..1fd014f 100755
--- a/codespell.py
+++ b/codespell.py

•    line = line.replace('_', ' ')
   for word in rx.findall(line):
       lword = word.lower()
       if lword in misspellings:

Thank you. This patch works perfectly for my needs. Is it possible you apply this patch to mainline, because there is no reason against to always replace all '_' with ' ' before checking.

Sorry, I can't... not until we find a proper solution to have "-w" argument working with that.

Ok, i understand. Thank you for your help!
