The thing is, in each directory containing these files, there is an index file. I don't know the name of the index file (i'm actually searching for *.tab, *.btab, *.crd, and *.pro files at http://www.nutz.org/olga/main). I've tried educated guesses such as index.pl, index.cgi, index.php, index.php3, index.shtml, etc. None of them have worked. Now, the index lists and links all of the subdirectories and files in the current directory. If I can find out the name of the index file, I can probably make a script that will scan the html code for links to a subdirectory and/or *.tab file and either switch to the index page of that directory or download the file.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
