Hello folks, I apologize for the delay in getting back to you, but I have been very sick and had to go to bed.
At any rate, I just bit the bullet and redid everything from scratch using backup copies of the original 1256 files. To provide more details, the link that I broke in each of those files, pointed to the next chapter in a book in the Bible. In other words, each HTML document had previous and next links. I broke the next links with that one small oversight while performing the final multi-file find and replace. If the link had pointed to the same page, it would have been very easy to fix using the #BASENAME# placeholder, and a nifty little shell script that my friend Jim Derry wrote for me. So the fact that the contents of the broken link varied from file to file, made it seem impossible to fix. I wonder if there is some “magical” #BASENAME# +1 script that would look at the actual number in the file name of the file it was working on, and then replace the #BASENAME# placeholder with the name of the next file in sequence. Of course, in that case, even this would not work, because sometimes going to the next chapter means going to the opening chapter of a different book entirely. Thank you to those of you who took the time to respond to my inquiry. I appreciate it.
