Help creating links to multiple MP3 files Options

[Tom Rizzo]

I need to easily create links to almost 200 MP3 files for our sales department. Is there an easy way to import a directory and create generic links to these files? I am currently using DreamWeaver 8, but am not opposed to using something else to make this easier. It would really suck to have to link to each file, one by one.

I'd appreciate any help!

Thanks
Tom

Hi There

A little bit of Script Should do the trick

But first

how are the files named? Random names , (Consecutive Numbers etc)
What does the link text need to be?
Are they on a web server or local?
If a web server is it linux or IIS?

Cheers

Thie files names are all pretty random. The current files are all sequential, starting at 001_xxxxxx.mp3 and going to 184_xxxx.mp3, but I don't beleive that any future files will follow this naming convention.

The link text can just be the file name for now. We can modify that later if necessary. We are using an IIS server.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Again

Quick and Dirty

save the code below as mp3.vbs, then run it, you may need to change the paths for your mp3 folder, but it will create a text file of links for you.

' Which directory should I search?

Directory = "c:/MP3S/"



Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set MyFile = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\links.txt", False)


Set Folder = FSO.GetFolder(Directory)
Set FileList = Folder.Files


for each File in FileList

MyFile.WriteLine("<a href=""" & File.Name & """>" & File.Name & "</A>")
next

MyFile.Close

msgbox("Done")
