Reports spelling error in a format string

[bijoua29]

I have a format string passed into scanf that is for form "HR%fPR%f" and codespell is complaining about fPR being incorrectly spelled.

fPR ==> for, far, fps

That's expected: codespell merely splits text into words using the following regexp, then searches each word in dictionaries of typos.

codespell/codespell_lib/_codespell.py

Line 31 in 63d07a0

word_regex_def = r"[\w\-'’]+"

Just ignore fpr.

Ok, thanks for the response. There doesn't seem to be a way to ignore this for a specific line of code. I assume I can only exclude 'fpr' globally or exclude the whole file.

See https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell#usage specifically:

codespell -x FILE, --exclude-file=FILE
Ignore whole lines that match those in FILE. The lines in FILE should match the to-be-excluded lines exactly.

I would like to work on this issue
