Hello again, I want to convert all of my relative URLs to absolute URLs.
The problem is that I do not know where the remaining relative URLs are located in my virtual host's folder. I have been reading the grep patterns section of the BBEdit manual, but I still haven't quite understood how to apply what I have been reading. For example, many of my current absolute URLs look like the following, where "my-article" represents the actual name of the file: <a href="https://www.billkochman.com/Articles/my-article.html However, there are some places -- as I said, unknown to me -- where there are relative URLs which look like the following: <a href="my-article.html I want to change all of those relative URLs so that they are preceded by "https://www.billkochman.com/Articles/";. In looking at the BBEdit grep section, I get the impression that maybe I need to use an "if-then" or "if-then-else" conditional subpattern. However, if that is the case, as I said, I don't quite understand how to implement it. If I use this: \t\t<a href="(.+)\.html It obviously finds all of the current absolute URLs. BTW, those "\t" are there because all such lines are prefixed by two tabs. So what pattern do I use to convert the remaining relative URLs to absolute URLs, without affecting the current absolute URLs? In other words, <a href="my-article.html should turn into <a href="https://www.billkochman.com/Articles/my-article.html. Thanks in advance. Some of this stuff is just a little over my head.
