...and your pages will be renamed:
banana-1.html
cherry-2.html
desert-3.html
apple-pie-4.html

I may have missed something, but I have not yet seen how ZZ Tuelz is set up (for instance) to take in a list of terms and, using tags, create page names from each one of those given terms -- yielding page names like "johnny-depp-movies.html" or "orlando-bloom-johnny-depp-posters.html", for example. Using names like these, from an seo perspective, would seem to be friendlier to spiders than the option of feeding "numbered" pages (ie., apple1.html, apple2.html, etc) to spiders.

If I've missed this, I apologize and ask that you direct my attention to the right place. Either that, or do me the favor of explaining to me why the "named file" strategy (which takes in key terms and creates page names) is unnecessary, given some other function(s) that ZZ Tuelz utilizes.

I know it's a little confusing, but ZZ is the one tuel that we discuss in the private forum:
http://www.dombom.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=list&forum=DCForumID9&conf=DCConfID1

Can I use Namez to replace every instance of a text string with nothing -- ie remove the text string altogether?

eg change:
--keyword1.html
--keyword2.html

to:
keyword1.html
keyword2.html

I have tried a few things in the "Replace with" box, such as "" and other generic ways typically used to represent null, but I can't find the right way...

Thanks,

Rob

Rob,

Not directly, but you can still do what you want, you just need to adjust your "logic" a little...

If your file names look like:
--keyword2.html

Find:
--k

Replace:
k

Basically, take out a little more, then put it back, if that makes sense.

You can also put...

...in Replacez and it will leave a blank space. I have used this quite often

& n b s p ;

The forum read the html and displayed the blank space, not the code.

Kurt, I have been doing exactly what you suggested and going right through the alphabet. I was just hoping to cut the time down.

I saw a post from Graham mentioning using ... but it didn't work when I tried it -- now it's clear that Graham intended non-breaking-space and the forum scrambled it.

Anyway, all clear now, thanks again both

Rob

From your example, I didn't realize you needed to replace more than one letter.

I'll put this on the list of features for Tuelz, but doubt that it will be ready to be of much use to you on this project.

That would be great. It's an ongoing thing for me, and I'm sure others will also find it useful from time to time.

Thanks,

Rob
