Did i get my letters backwards? I was being lazy and just copy/pasted to enter the letters. I may have entered them backwards... I’ll doublecheck things in a bit; it’s almost breakfast time with the family here.Tryng to convert the new dictionary espanol.txt to espanol-converted.txt with your program.
¿ñ's y ü's son muy raras en español, señor? The only two words in Spanish that any Brit knows have the ñ!!
Steve, I've had a go with your code which seems to be nearly working (or probably working correctly, but I misunderstand). By the way I've changed from a,i,n,o,e to a,e,i,o,u as those are the only ones which Petoro wants. I find the following in a converted file:
For orignal word abaceriá (grocery), the code gives abaceri and loses the a.
I cannot see why the code would give this error, or maybe I'm misunderstanding the original file.
Petoro, would you confirm that abaceriá is the correct Spanish and not abaceri? Thank you.
Petoro thanks. All I need is a dictionary in text format (which you have kindly given me a reference for). I have routines to convert into the files needed for the program. I may also be able to handle the accented character conversions (I may need the help of QB64's Expert in All Things, Steve McNeill). Leave it with me, I'll see what can be done (I shall love doing it - you may have noticed that I love all things words-related).It is very kind from your part to dedicate your attention to this. Please take your time.

Petoro, thank you for your kind words. I would offer to make a version using the Spanish language, but the program may use only A-Z without accents (ASC values between 64 and 90). If you could obtain a Spanish dictionary with accented letters converted to nearest unaccented equivalent eg 'a' instead of 'á', i instead of 'í', n instead of 'ñ', I would be able to do such a version.
Please forgive my ignorance, but are there Spanish language crosswords, and if so do they use accented characters? In English, any accented letters are changed to the closest non-accented version. Personally, I think that such words should not be allowed in English crosswords (the words should keep their accents and therefore would not cross properly).
And if that isn’t confusing enough for you, don’t forget the leap SECONDS...
