Default Re: Resolve Broken Links with No Reference

Hi, I have a similar problem and cannot seem to get rid of a bunch of broken
links.

Basically at some point this project file had an html subfolder that was taken
out. Consequently many topics had html\<topicname>.htm and then became
<topicname>.htm.

My problem is now that these files with the html\ folder are under broken
links and now don't reference or link to anything if I right-click on them. I
cannot restore them, delete them, or edit them in any way.

I find that it is also creating problems when the WebHelp is generated and put
on our server, several topics give a "file not found" error because they are
searching for html\ in the filename and of course cannot find it. I have fixed
these by searching and getting rid of any reference to \html in the topic
files, but a few still don't link properly. Even after creating a new table of
contents and re-linking all topics and images it does the same, AND has these
broken links still listed.

Any ideas? I realize this may be several problems. I think someone in the past
deleted the html folder outside of RoboHelp and it messed everything up. We are
taking about a Help file with over 700 topics, so it is a real beast to work
with.

Thanks,
Joel

So the topics that were in the html folder are still in the project but in a
different location?

If so you could use a multi file find and replace tool such as FAR from
http://www.helpware.net or BKReplaceEm. Locate one reference in a topic and
then use the tool to amend the path in all topics.

Create a backup of your project first. Important.
