Finding include files that aren’t included? (2002)

Topic

Is there an automatic way to get a list of “include” files that are NOT included?

I’m trying to avoid writing this program:
1. Read the names of the files in the _includes folder
2. For each name in the list, search the local web (in HTML, if I were using the Find dialog)
3. Display the list and the names of the files in which each is included.

Any file that is not included somewhere is a candidate for elimination from the web.

I dont want to do this by hand, because there are a lot of files.

Would it be cheating to rename the folder (outside of FP) and then, in FP, look at the broken links report? I don’t know if that report covers include files, so maybe this wouldn’t work…

“cheating” you say? My motto: “You don’t really know how to use a tool until you know at least three ways to MIS-use it.”

The Report doesnt cover Include files explicitly… it will be interesting to see if FP can find references in ASP statements like
Response.Redirect “someurl”

Stay tuned…

Reports | Unlinked files doesnt tell much. For example, the status of all the ‘confirmation.asp’ pages is “unlinked”.
