Some simple scripts for replacing all instances of "htm" with "html", a common need with Windows created web pages. #!/bin/sh for i in "*.htm" do j=`basename $i .htm` cat $i | sed s/\.htm/\.html/g > $j.html done ksh even easier. for i in *.htm; do; mv $i ${i%.htm}.html; done

[BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"] also known as [BODY BGCOLOR="white"] I've substituted square brackets for angle brackets. Use angle brackets.

web.178.415: Wheel Oil Beef Hooked (josh) Sun 11 Feb 96 21:12 I just discovered an odd trick I hadn't seen: try entering view-source:http://www.blahblahblah web.178.416: Wheel Oil Beef Hooked (josh) Sun 11 Feb 96 21:19 Wow -- you can even put that in an href! web.178.426: Wheel Oil Beef Hooked (josh) Thu 22 Feb 96 12:46 You can make it an anchor. For example, View the source to this page web.178.486: Wheel Oil Beef Hooked (josh) Thu 7 Mar 96 19:21 Now what could be doing _this_? I load the page http://www.iclnet.org/clm/real/ri9502/sommers.html The red "stop" light flashes on and then off about once a second; so does the status bar, too fast to see what it is trying to accomplish.
