change urls inside html page

[stratos]

Hi from Greece.

I need to make a script to change relative urls to absolute, included photos. For example lets say we have the following 4 items in our html file:

<a href="page2.htm">go to page 2</a>
<a href="subfo/page3.htm">go to page 3</a>
<a href="../page2.htm">go back to page 2</a>
<img src="images/logo1.gif">

Any ideas how they could converted to something like
<a href="http://www.mydomain.gr/page2.htm">go to page 2</a>
or even better to
<a href="http://www.mydomain.gr/scripts.php?lurl=page2.htm">go to page 2</a>

Any ideas? I don't care if it's a one time run script (to create or just print a new html file) or running script (even it takes to much cpu)

Thanks in Advance

most text editors such as Edit Pad Lite allow you to search across multiple files and to do a search and replace.

You pretty much want to search for all know combinations such as <a href="p replace with <a href="http://www.mydomain.gr/p and see how you go. It'll be painful but worth it.

Later on use a tool like Xenu to check for broken or incomplete links.

Good luck.

thanks for your reply.

Actually this sollution was the end stage sollution. Unfortunately there are more than 200 html pages to be fixed (also add the images) and imagine how painfull is this sollution.

Well, you could write a PHP script to loop through and each file that needs changing, search for and make the changes, then write out the altered file...

Then run the script.
