Use sdcv to export the list of all the words in a dictionary for use by aspell.

[hongyi-zhao]

On Ubuntu 20.04, I've installed the latest git master version of sdcv and have added some dictionaries:

werner@X10DAi:~$ sdcv --version
Console version of Stardict, version 0.5.3
werner@X10DAi:~$ sdcv -l
Dictionary's name   Word count
懒虫简明英汉词典    452185
Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged (En-En)    296190

Now I want to export all the words in a dictionary, say, "Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged (En-En)" for use by aspell.

Any hints for doing this with sdcv?

Regards, HY

you can use something like:

sdcv -n -u "Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged (En-En)" '*'

to get all dictionary articles.

It can only get very small part of the words:

$ sdcv -n -u "Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged (En-En)" '*'|egrep  -- '^--[>]-'|wc -l
