Score sentence with SRILM

[Cristina Garbacea]

Hi,

I have built my own language model with SRILM that I would like to use in order to score some sentences. One way to do this would be:

./ngram -order 3 -lm allrelevant2013.lm -ppl input.sentences -debug 1

where input.sentences is a file on disk. I would like to know if it is possible to score one sentence without writing it to a file. I have tried

./ngram -order 3 -lm allrelevant2013.lm -ppl "This is a sample sentence" -debug 1

but I get "No such file or directory" error because it expects it to be a file. Writing each and every sentence I want to score to a file is pretty inconvenient, is it possible to score it straight away?

Thanks,

Cristina
