Hello, today I installed and used your link-checker the first time. It's a fine tool, but it could be much better, if the output would be easy to grep. On possible format could be "LINK_OK: http://...." or "LINK_NOT_OK: <error-description> http://....." Then with grep LINK_NOT_OK <linkcheck.log> all links that must be fixed could easily be extracted. Especially for large sites this would be a very convenient way to work. otherwise each entry must be viewed in detail, and this needs a lot of time (or someone must implement a parser for your output that is much more complicated; this wouldn't make sense, when a grep would be enough). TIA, Oliver Bandel
Don't the --summary and/or --quiet options meet your needs? BTW, the suggested format would not work; at least in recursive mode it would have to include the URL of a document where the broken link/fragment was found. See also bug 382 which requests a somewhat similar feature.
