global conversion from html to htm extension in FP2003

[Ian Zuiring]

I need to covert a medium sized web site from html extensions to htm
extensions using FP 2003.

Can this be done without breaking several thousand links? One link at a
time rename is not an option since the site is just too large.

Thanks in advance...

 

[Murray]

Why do you need to do this? I'm just curious.

The customer wanted the site to be consistent with his "intranet" which has
only htm extensions. I don't debate the guy who writes me the check so I
don't fully know what his reason is either. -Ian

Oh. Sometimes when I tell them how much extra it will cost to do this, and
point out that it was not in the original contract, they reconsider. But I
can see the logic of this. Good luck fixing all those broken links. I hope
you have not used something like an all-javascript menu....

If the site is 100% designed and managed with FP and no 3rd party JavaScript, then you should have
any problems, but you will need to rename each page individually.

"...should have..." = "...should not have..."

Minor correction! 8)

especially when there's no real reason to do it....charge him a luxury "a"-retentive fee

You could write a macro to do this pretty easily.
