FindCompoundWords Method (text, subwords, lengthLimit)

Keyoti RapidSpell Desktop .NET

Finds the compound words in text and puts them in subwords, set subwords to null/nothing to just find if text has compound word formation.

Declaration Syntax

Visual C++

public virtual bool FindCompoundWords(
	string text,
	IList subwords,
	bool lengthLimit
)

	string text,
	IList subwords,
	bool lengthLimit
)

Public Overridable Function FindCompoundWords ( 
	text As String,
	subwords As IList,
	lengthLimit As Boolean
) As Boolean

Public Overridable Function FindCompoundWords ( 
	text As String,

	String^ text,

        text : string * 
        subwords : IList * 
        lengthLimit : bool -> bool

abstract FindCompoundWords : 
        text : string * 
        subwords : IList * 
        lengthLimit : bool -> bool 
override FindCompoundWords : 
        text : string * 
        subwords : IList * 
        lengthLimit : bool -> bool

Parameters

text (String): The text to find compound words in

subwords (IList): A list that formative sub-words will be added to, can be null/nothing.

lengthLimit (Boolean): Whether to restrict lookups to words under 10 characters long. Looking up compounds for very long words can cause slow downs.

Return Value

Boolean
True if text is entirely formed from compound words, False if not.

Remarks

Only adds words to list if all are valid. In other words, this will not find all words that are part of text, but only the words that all make up text.

Eg. "catchmentarea" has words "catchment" and "area" but not "cat", "me" etc.

The order of the words in the list is the reverse of their order in text.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	if text is null
