Link Checking using amended path mapping

[Rowdyed]

I have many many text files that on the site are converted to HTML files using a php program.
On the local copy, the link within the html page is to d:\dir1\dir2\..\file.html since this is the name of the file that is generated by the php program.
But on the local d drive, the file is actually d:\dir\dir2\..\file.txt.

I have tried to use the path mapping facility in the following way :

Map from d:\dir1\dir2\*\file.html Map to d:\dir1\dir2\*\*.txt so that when the validator sees the an html reference in certain folders, it checks for the equivalent txt file. However, I do not seem to have been able to make this work.

Have I got the syntax wrong or can this not be done with path mapping.

Any help appreciated. (version 10.0204 std)

Hello,

It looks like you want to check a *.txt link when there's a *.html link. Sorry, the path mapping feature does not work this way, it only makes path corrections, not filename corrections.

Thank you for the reply.

Maybe a future development ?

Maybe a future development ?

It's always possible, but I do not think many people would use something like this, and it seems rather strange to change the link in that manner.

Though it may be possible with some advanced additional configuration options I am looking into for the next major release.
