Change Links Sitewide

[GeForce]

Hello All!

I was just wondering is this is possible with any program. I currently have all my links as www.livescripts.co.uk/somedir/somepage.html and I want them all changed to www.livescripts.co.uk/go.asp?link=/somedir/somepage.html

Possible? Or not?

Thanks for any help!

You could use regular expressions to go through and do what your wanting, assuming there is some consistancy in how the link paths are written.

Hi oracleguy!

The link paths are all written as www.livescripts.co.uk/whatever etc.

How would I use a regex to do this, I am not experienced with them.

Thanks!

What languages do you know how to use? PHP or ASP would work. Depending on what server side language you are using I could write up a little bit that should be able to handle what you are doing. I would just need some more examples of links you want changed and what exactly you wanted them changed to, so I could encompass more or less all of the possiblities.

Seeing as you are using ASP redirect page, I think this would work, you would just need to run everypage through a search and replace using regular expressions.

regex.pattern = "href=""http://www.livescripts.co.uk(.+?)"""

This pattern would catch all links in the page, and then you could use backreferences or submatches to get the value from the (.+?) and then replace with:

newlink = "href=""http://www.livescripts.co.uk/go.asp?link=" & match.submatches(0) & """"

depending on what you use to create the newlinks, you may have to change the code a bit.

If you want to just write an ASP or VBScript, the code should be about the same, you can check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/vtoriProperties.asp to find out more.
