Hi all!

I want to parse an HTML document and change all of the relative
paths for the (<img src> <a href> <form action>) tags to fully qualified url
paths
with the domain name.

For instance,

src="/pics/mypic.jpg"  would become
src=" http://www.*-*-*.com/ ;

This seems easy enough with the replace function, right?  For instance:

mydomain = http://www.*-*-*.com/
sHTMLDoc = replace(sHTMLDoc, "src=" & chr(34), "src=" & chr(34) & mydomain)

But, what if the src is equal to
src=" http://www.*-*-*.com/ ;
before using the Replace function?  Then I would end up with
src=" http://www.*-*-*.com/ ://www.mydomain.com/pics/mypic.jpg"

Any ideas or suggestions on how to attack this would be highly
appreciated...  Thanks!

If you know that the relative path will always have a preceding delimiter
(\), then you can simly modify your code like this...

mydomain = http://www.mydomain.com
sHTMLDoc = replace(sHTMLDoc, "src=" & chr(34) & "\", "src=" & chr(34) &
mydomain & "\")

This way, if the link is not relative, then no replacement will be made,
because the delimiter won't follow immediately after the quotation marks in
a full address.  If is IS a relative address, then the shaved off delimiter
will simply be replaced when the preceeding part of the absolute address is
added.
