Hi
I want to download only print versions of pages from a website ,
http://www.site.com/dir1/index?page=detail_pagelet&id=PN{:100..300}
because print versions look better when they are printed.
This website uses the command, index?page=detail_pagelet&id=
to load only its "print" copy instead of the normal page. They all download
BUT they all have the names,

index?page=detail_pagelet&id=PN100.html
index?page=detail_pagelet&id=PN101.html
index?page=detail_pagelet&id=PN300.html
All the internal links in the documents and between documents do not work.

All the file names should be PN100.html , PN101.html , PN300.html. If I manually rename them , then the links work OK.
Is there a setting to correct this , or editer to rename ALL of them in one single step. Renaming all of them separately
would take too much time. Thanks

What if you change the starting URL to:

http://www.site.com/dir1/index?page=detail_pagelet&id=PN{:100..300}.html

?

If this causes the server error, you may use Properties - Parsing - URL Substitutes and add a rule:

URL:
*page=detail_pagelet&id=PN*
Replace:
$
With:
.html
Apply to:
Filenames

Would this work for you?

I have a question about the purpose of the asterisk "*".

What is the difference having an "*" at the front and end like this:
*abcd*

And just at the end like this:
abcd*

There is no sense in front and end asterisk symbols at all. They are simply ignored and are used for compatibility purposes only. In fact, *abcd*, *abcd, abcd* and abcd work exactly the same way.

It matters only when you use asterisk inside, like ab*cd.
