Default How to get a list of files that link to a given file - 11-13-2004 , 07:26 PM






If (in Dreamweaver MX 2004) I try to delete a file, say xxx.htm, that other
files in the site link to, I get a message asking if I really want to do that
and listing the first few files that have links to xxx.htm..

It appears that there's information stored somewhere about what files link to
xxx.htm.

Is there any way to access that information directly? In other words, I'd
like to be able to specify a file in the site (xxx.htm) and get a list (plain
text) of the files in the site that have links to xxx.htm.

Why? I'm cleaning up a large site that someone else built . There are
hundreds of files and minimal structure. Seeing what files link to certain key
files would help a great deal to understand the structure of the site.

Thanks for any pointers you might give -- and apologies if the way to do this
is supposed to be obvious.

Do a sitewide find for the filename. You'll see a list of all the files
that link to it.
