Alter/Remove directory references

[dw85745]

Looking for a name of some freeware software or any other suggestion to easily remove the directory reference link within an HTML file in order to get all associated HTML files to work in whatever directory all associated HTML files reside.

Corned Bee. You lost me in your comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I'm looking for is a freeware to search a specified directory where files are contained and have the software search inside each file in the directory and remove the user specified string or multiple occurances of the string from within each file.
For example if I download a Table of Contents (TOC) off the web and the associated files referenced by the TOC, I want to remove the directory part of the string so I can access the TOC and the associated files no matter what directory I put it.


Alternatively I some old QB source code that uses CALL INTERRUPT (Assembly) and QB that will accomplish (extremely gast) this -- but not sure how (or if you can) to make a direct Interrupt call to the correct register (AX, BX, CX, etc.) from VB.

Most advanced text editors (jEdit for example) have a "Find & Replace in Files" feature that supports regular expressions. In other words: design a regexp to do what you want, pluck it in and off you go.

Doesn't work for files that don't contain plain text, such as Word documents.
