so you want links removed, but flash and java to stay, how about the images? if you get rid of the banners it will kill images also 99% of the time.<br />

Banners aren't really a problem, if you just get rid of the links, the banner's image should still be intact?? It just won't link right?<br />

OK, I'm going to accept DABOMB's suggestion, but for the record and for PAQ's , it did not solve my problem; I'm giving up on this.

Hi,<br />
I would like to be able to do the following:<br />
Download websites and then remove all external links from site ( including banner links ) and then have a &quot;viewer&quot; browser to browse the website offline. The &quot;viewer&quot; can be any browser, doesn't have to be a specially developed browser. I would also like to have any flash and java components stay in tact after links are removed.<br />
So I would basically need some perl script to run through the html pages and look for the external links and remove them.

Hi,
I would like to be able to do the following:
Download websites and then remove all external links from site ( including banner links ) and then have a "viewer" browser to browse the website offline. The "viewer" can be any browser, doesn't have to be a specially developed browser. I would also like to have any flash and java components stay in tact after links are removed.
So I would basically need some perl script to run through the html pages and look for the external links and remove them.

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
