What I need is a script that will do the following: 1. Note the location of file 'A' relative to the site root.
2. Find in file 'A' the first root-relative or absolute link to another file (file 'B') on the site. (Root-relative: / my_root_directory/path/file; Absolute: http://my_root_directory/path/file). 3. Based on the previously noted location of file 'A' relative to the site root, and the path in the link, which specifies the path from the site root to file 'B', calculate the direct path from file 'A' to file 'B'. 4. Change the link to the direct path. 5. Do this for every link in the file. 4. Do this for all files in this directory, recursively. It seems as if these actions wouldn't be difficult if I knew scripting...but I don't. Anyone want to give it a try and make me ecstatic?
