Subject: Find the longest word in the word list file.
Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2021 07:14:05 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGP6POKgSxB8vi9K7Vs7Ge0DpFdMQKC9s5ijba4GeP-EpdGdhw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I have an English word list file that stores words in a
one-word-per-line format. Now I want to find the longest word in the
word list file. For example, I can use standard UNIX tools to
accomplish this with the following simple commands:
$ awk '$0 ~ /^[[:alpha:]]+$/ { print $0, length($0) }'
american-english-exhaustive | \
sort -k2n | tail -1
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch 58
But in Emacs, what is the elisp implementation for the above task?
Regards
