could not open file eng.user-words

[Glen Rubin]

I am running Teseract on windows.  When I try running from the commandline and specifying a config file, tesseract will give me an error message saying that it cannot open the user-words file.  Weirder still it looks like the eng.user-words file has been renamed somehow to just eng??

Can you please provide exact information what command you used, exact error message???

I corrected this  by just adding .txt to the filename and specifying user-words.txt in my config file, cheers.

Actually, I am mistaken...it is still not working. 

My command is:

tesseract image23.png image23g prov.txt

result is:

Could not open file, C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tessdata/eng.user-words.txt

Can you check end-of-line marker[1] of prov.txt?
