A simple Tcl binding to some of the stemmers of the snowball project [1].

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: [2].

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
