Thanks Patrick, but it didn't work, I played around with it a bit but
couldn't get it to work, though I managed to not get any error
messages (grin)... I guess it's not so simple after all. The problem I
am having is when the title of the article is made into the page name,
most of the time is works fine, ex.
(this is an example of a title of an article)
When Birds Fly
The code makes it the web page name and it looks like this:
When_Birds_Fly.html
The problem occurs when the article title has a character like !?#$...
When Birds Fly!
Comes out:
When_Birds_Fly!.html
The code also creates an index page pointing to all the HTML files it
created, the index page would call the file:
When_Birds_Fly%21.html
I have to go in and remove the ! from the file name and remove the
reference to %21 in the index html. I hope this is making some sort of
sense, I just want to remove these characters in the article names
before they are made into the name of the page. It does have a way to
replace the spaces between the words with underscores, I assumed that
I would also be able to remove these characters as well. I would be
willing to let you (or anyone else for that matter) see the whole set
of files I have that does this, it's nicely zipped up and ready to be
installed, at least that part was simple enough for me to do :)
Anyhoo, thanks for the help, for now I will just manually change these
files as they crop up.
