That is what i was planning although i have already spend the last week (about 20 frustrating hours) working on my own. Thus far it works and extremely fast too. ( The console version i use to test is slow because of output but when i nix all but the essentials it does the look up in a fraction of a second and caches 5500 words in less than a second.) It is not done yet. I have been doing it in C++ (does it make a difference?) and i will look at yours but i'd hate to abandon so much work (also i'm not too familiar with C).
I must admit i don't understand where it will be applied (i'm new to linux and open office.org) but i think that it will work from anywhere when done. I could use some pointers on what type of output i can return from this program so that it will integrate better. If you have any suggestions please let me know.
Patgen converts a list with hyphenated words to hyphenation patterns. The file with hyphenation patterns (a different one for each language) is used by OpenOffice.org for hyphenation.
This has several advantages: 1) the hyphenation patterns file is much smaller so it takes up less memory, 2) it is more efficient to find the appropriat pattern than to search through a word list, 3) words that are not in the word list can also be hyphenated following the same "rules" as the other words of the same language.
TeX Patgen is written in a kind of Pascal which is embedded in a special file format (.web). A standalone Patgen program will make it much easier to keep the hyphenation pattern files up to date, because then you don't need to install the whole TeX system to run it.
P.S. -- What does "Vriendelijke groet" mean, i'm multinationaly illiterate.
As someone else already said, literally "friendly greeting". In English I would write "Best Regards".
Vriendelijke groet, Simon Brouwer.
