Does anyone know of a way to remove all webbots from a page?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Isidore,

You can utilize VBA and the FP OM to access all the webbot components. If you need additional information try the programming NG.

What type of webbots, normally you would turn off the specific function, and will you be maintaining
this page via FP in the future?

The page is the contents page for a discussion group that's been
active for about 4 years and has stopped functioning. My host can't
help me get it going again, and I've decided the best thing to do is
to make an archive of everything I have to date and start over again,
either with a new discussion group or with a 3rd party bboard.

The past discussions on our deceased FP discussion group constitutute
a body of very valuable info and I want to preserve them.
Unfortunately, the index that still works in plain html (protoc.htm)
is over 800kb. I'm hoping that if I strip it of everything that
resembles <!--webbot BOT="FormInsertHere" S-RepliesTo="00000c72" -->
I'll get a much smaller page.

All I really want is to make a static links page from the old
discussion group index that preserves the threads so my visitors can
peruse (or search, but that's another story) what's been accumulated.

Any help you can offer will be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,
Isidore

View the page in IE, then do File | Save As (plain HTML) then import back into your web.

Do not edit the webbots in tocproto.htm
- they are all include page webbots
(each webbot includes the content of the post and a link to it)

Tried this. All I got was another copy of the same bot-bloated file.
Also tried a simple find & replace, but wildcards don't work.

I take you point, but what I'm trying to do is create a simple links
page that preserves the original threading. That seems to happen if I
delete the bots by hand, but with something 14,000 messages, I need an
aotomated way to do this. Thanks anyhow.
