Hi,

I am mohan. I wish to share a script that will create an entire directory links in a HTML page. here is the script..

#! /bin/sh
# webtree.bash - directory structure listing in HTML

# creating HTML tags

echo "<html>
<head><title>$1/`basename $1`.html</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor='orange'>" > $1/`basename $1`.html

# creating links to the files in directory tree

for i in `find $1`
do
if test -d $i
then
echo "<br><br>$i<br>" >> $1/`basename $1`.html
else
echo "<br><a href='$i'>$i</a>" >> $1/`basename $1`.html
fi
done

# creating end tags for HTML

echo "</body>
</html>" >> $1/`basename $1`.html
echo $1/`basename $1`.html completed
sed -e "s:<a href='$1/:<a href=':g" $1/`basename $1`.html > tmp.html
rm $1/`basename $1`.html
mv tmp.html $1/`basename $1`.html
unset i

#run as
# $webtree.bash directory

This is my first script. Hope this script will be useful to someone. Forgive gurus if I made any mistakes in this script and correct me. my mail is mohan34u@freeshells.ch.

Thank you.

Always,
Mohan R

Here is something you might want to try to produce the beginning of the html page.

cat <<EOF >${1}.html
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>${1} Links</title>
</head>
<body>
EOF
[/code]
It uses a here document.
