listing the graphic files

[Larry Smith]

Hi,
I don't know whether this kind of program exists but it seems the
readers of this group know just about everything so... here goes.

I maintain a few webpages and don't care to clutter cyberspace with
gif and jpg files that my webpages no longer are calling for.

Is there a program that would take my webpages, perhaps in text form,
and create a list of those files that are *.jpg or *.gif which I
could then compare to what I've FTP'd up?

Then I could delete those that are not being used any more.

TIA

The way to go is to have the whole site on a local disk and the server
as a mirror.

There are plenty of good ftp synchronizers.

Why not do a list of the "active" graphics files that you have on your
site ? Consider starting here ;

http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html

Then take that list away from the list of all the graphics files on
your site to find the orphans.


Regards, John.
