You probably want to use a r
you can just do this before you spell check.
{
s/./ ./g; # Would make Test. Test .
s/,/ ,/g; # etc. for other punctuation marks.
spellcheck
s/ ././g; # Make Test . back to Test. after spell check
I have to remove punctuation so that I can look in a dictionary to list all possible
completions of the english word: "te*t".
ie. teat teet tent test text
If I leave the punctuation in, there will be no dictionary matches on "te*t,".
Is that clearer now?

Hi all,
I could use some help. I'm trying to retain punctuation in sentences when doing a
spell check.
Say I have a line like this:
This *s a te*t, this *s only a te*t.
And I'd like to replace "te*t," with "test," after a dictionary lookup. Well, I can
split out the punctuation easily enough,
