in reply to shtml publisher

To make this correctly handle multiple SSI directives on a line, you're going to have to do a bit of work on one of your regexps.

Try to make it work. The debugging will be insightful.

Additionally, blindly doing s/\.shtml/.html/ may not be what you really want to do. But if it is, don't stop at the first one on the line.

You might want to take a look at my SSI conversion script. It'll give you some ideas on how to handle other directives.

    Yup, this script has its limitations.

    In my case I didn't need it to handle more than one SSI include on one line (but I should have put that in the header)

    Since that shtml regexp is only meant to refer to links, it could maybe be changed to
    s/href=(.+)\.shtml/href=$1.html/gi
    although this would miss links in image maps and it wouldn't work if the href was split over two lines. Opening a can of worms....

    It should definately have had the global modifier :)

    Thanks for the tips.
