title: Is it possible to make Hunspell print the line numbers of the misspelled words?
body: <p>I am trying to use <a href="http://hunspell.github.io" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Hunspell</a> to correct an essay I have written. Unfortunately, it is useless to me, as long as it doesn’t print the line numbers of the misspelled words.</p>
  <p>So right now I am using the <code>-a</code> option, in order to be able to pipe it into the <code>hunspell</code> command. The man page says, that the <code>-L</code> option would “Print lines with misspelled words.” But I don’t see any difference in the output.</p>
  <p>This is what I do right now:</p>
  <pre><code>$ cat myessay.txt | hunspell -d en_US,de_DE -a -L
  </code></pre>
  <p>An example output looks like this:</p>
  <pre><code>&amp; JavaServer 3 412: Java Server, Java-Server, Javasee
  </code></pre>
  <p>The word “JavaServer” is on line 78, and as explained by the man page, it has an offset of 412 characters on that line.</p>
  <p>Is there something I am missing? Is there an easy solution to this problem, or do I really have to pipe each line into Hunspell to find out at which line number it was?</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
