|locallysaved web pages
|
|
|Hi,
|
|I sometime happen to save certain web pages of interest (tutorials,
|articles, etc)
|locally on my PC. Unfortunately, some of these pages do carry top and
|bottom banners
|which are displayed every time I open the page locally on my PC (while
|PC is hooked
|up to the Internet).
|
|I understand this is caused by the fact that the urls of these banners
|are called in the source code of concerned web pages every
|time the page is loaded.
|
|I came up with a simple regex to automate the finding and removal of
|"offending html code"
|on multiple source code files, but that requires opening and saving
|the source code in text files in advance. This is too much work when
|talking about hundreds of such web pages.
|
|Do you have some ideas how to use Perl to automate the opening of the
|source code
|on multiple files, removing the "offending code" and at the end saving
|the source code on each
|html page?
|
|Thank you,
|Orel
