I don't see why this couldn't be done using the extended search and replace
feature in HomeSite. Couldn't they do a replace like this:
look for: /parentdir/dir/
and replace it with /dir/
???
or, even more exact:
look for: href="/parentdir/dir/
and replace with href="/dir/
Assuming they always write href=" in that format. (Since the site was in
Dreamweaver, it probably formatted all href='s the same.)
You just tell Homesite which file directory to look at and it does the
search and replace across all files (may include subdirs) in the dir. Can't
believe Dreamweaver can't do that, I though that feature was in the demo I
looked at.
In Homesite you can also use regular expressions for search and replace, if
you want to.
