Hi, Can you please mention those tools ? I am unaware of any tool of that kind
I said 'I doubt there are many tools ...' which strongly suggests that I don't know off the top of my head any tools/software that will allow someone with absolutely no knowledge of dictionary/spelling algorithm 'magic'/etc to go about implementing a routine that will automatically split a string of characters into two or more strings at exactly the point you it to be split unless that routine involves _you_ doing it manually at a keyboard. software doesn't generally do well at either mind-reading or smelling. maybe google will launch GoogleSmell[tm] soon - in the mean time try their search engines (anyones search engine for that matter - Yahoo! is another good one to get you going) ... or do you expect me to do the searching for you? (like some of your country-men have seemed to in the past)

Hi We need to check the spelling of a word which is actually a Domain name.
For
example we have to check the word "onlinetradeing". When checked with the spell checkers we are getting the words which are unrelated such as on, obliterating, incinerating, intruding etc. But exactly what we want was "online trading". So we would like to have the word to be split into
phrases
and check the spelling too. The normal spell checkers are just checking
the
words in the dictionary but not splitting the word into phrases.
by all means ask a question. oh btw, I doubt there are many tools out there capable fo smelling that you want a space between the 'e' and the 't' of "onlinetradeing".
