A simple Tcl binding to some of the stemmers of the snowball project [L1 ].
At the moment included code creates the english porter1, porter2, german and french stemmers. Others can be added easily thanks to Tcls great encoding system.
The code can be found here: [L2 ].
It is a standard TEA extension that should build cleanly on windows & linux/unix. (VC++ can not compile the snowball source, so on windows mingw or cygwin have to be used to build).
Usage example:
% package require Tclsnowball 0.1 % ::snowball::stem porter2 "somelongword" somelongwor
Syntax:
::snowball::stem stemmername word
