MergeSpellingData merges the contents of multiple spelling map files into a single spelling map file.

A spelling map file is a utf-8 file containing two fields separated by a tab character. The first field is a variant spelling. The second field is the standardized spelling for the variant.

Usage:

mergespellingdata output.tab input.tab input2.tab ...

where

• output.txt -- output merged spelling map file.
• input*.txt -- input text files containing spelling maps to be merged.

Each input spelling map is a utf-8 file contain two fields separated by a tab character. The first field is a variant spelling. The second field is the standardized spelling for the variant.

The output file is a utf-8 text file containing the merged spelling maps from the input files. When a given variant appears more than once with different standardized spellings in the input files, the last mapping encountered is the one written to the output file.
