<br>
Interesting.<br>
<br>
First, you'd have to define what it means for a link to be
"valid". Are these URLs to content on a web server? If so, does
valid mean that it doesn't return a 404 error (page not found)?
Or do you need to know that the page actually has the content
that you expected it to .. in which case you might want to be
able to scan the content at the target URL for text that matches
the link text?<br>
<br>
Or .. am I blowing this out of proportion, and you're just
looking on a local file system for a matching file name?<br>
<br>
If the latter, ExtendScript should be able to do what you need,
if the former, you might need a bit more processing power like
an FDK client.<br>
<br>
I'll be interested to see if anyone else has done this sort of
thing.<br>
<br>
If you need help developing such a script/utility .. give me a
holler.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi, guys...FM 11.
I have a section in my books that is just pages and pages of links to text,
sql, excel, and PDF files that are out on our Sharepoint system.
As we go forward, the links are becoming a maintenance issue. While I know
I cannot automate the creation of the links, I'd like to have something
that can validate my links.
Each link is defined as a "Go to URL" hyperlink and it is an absolute link,
not relative.
Has anyone done this kind of scripting?
Thanks
