Cache Manipulations

Switching between cache files

Even if this sounds kind of hilarious, you can actually switch between cache files in LESP, basically by changing the cache_file parameter in the Proofreader class and then running the load_cache method. This is useful if you want to use different cache files for different wordlists. For example, you can use the cache file lesp_cache/lesp.cache for the wordlist lesp-wordlist.txt and the cache file lesp_cache/lesp2.cache for the wordlist lesp-wordlist2.txt, so that you won't get any compatibility issues.

from lesp import Proofreader

# Create a Proofreader object with the default cache file
proofreader = Proofreader()

# Load the cache file for the wordlist "lesp-wordlist.txt"
proofreader.load_cache("lesp_cache/lesp2.cache")

That's it! Now the cache file lesp_cache/lesp2.cache will be used for the wordlist lesp-wordlist.txt instead of the default cache file lesp_cache/lesp.cache.

If you want to switch between cache files that will be used for get_similar, you can do so by changing the cache_file parameter in the get_similar method. For example, if you want to use the cache file lesp_cache/lesp2.cache for get_similar instead of the default cache file lesp_cache/lesp.cache, you can do so by running the following code:

from lesp import Proofreader

# Create a Proofreader object with the default cache file
proofreader = Proofreader()

# Load the cache file for the wordlist "lesp-wordlist.txt"
proofreader.cache_file = "lesp_cache/lesp2.cache"

# Get similar words for the word "hello"
similar_words = proofreader.get_similar("helllllo")

Modifying your cache

If you want to manually change something in your cache, you can do so by accessing the cache attribute of the Proofreader object. The cache attribute is a dictionary with the keys being the words and the values being the list of similar words. For example, if you want to set the cache for the word "hello" to ["hi", "hey", "hola"], you can do so by running the following code:

from lesp import Proofreader

# Create a Proofreader object with the default cache file
proofreader = Proofreader()

# Load the cache file for the wordlist "lesp-wordlist.txt"
proofreader.load_cache("lesp_cache/lesp2.cache")

proofreader.cache_file = "lesp_cache/lesp2.cache"

# Set the cache for the word "hello"
proofreader.cache["hello"] = ["hi", "hey", "hola"]

# Save the cache
proofreader.save_cache()

Clearing your cache

If you want to clear your cache, you can do so by running the clear_cache method of the Proofreader object. This will delete the cache file and the directory containing the cache file (if there is one).

from lesp import Proofreader

# Create a Proofreader object with the default cache file
proofreader = Proofreader()

proofreader.cache_file = "lesp_cache/lesp2.cache"

# Load the cache file for the wordlist "lesp-wordlist.txt"
proofreader.load_cache("lesp_cache/lesp2.cache")

# Clear the cache
proofreader.clear_cache()
