Checking URL links

[oaklander]

Is there any script that is available to check all web links in a directory. I have many html files in one directory and need to check if all the URL links are valid. The links consist of absolute and relative paths.

There are countless such scripts available from sites such as http://www.freshmeat.net (including this one, this one and this one).

On this site, I simply typed Link Checker into the search box and sure enough, an excellent example from tachyon was found here - In addition to checking href links, this script also checks img links and mailto links (for RFC822 compliance).

 

perl -e 's&&[e-mail]&&&split/[@.]/&&s&.com.&_&&&print'

Here is another source for checking links. It is located at WebTester and it is easy to install and use. It does require either Telnet or SSH.

Hope this helps.
