INDEXME(1) General Commands Manual INDEXME(1)

indexme - link several images or documents into a HTML index

indexme [-r recursive ] [-g create a HTML index] [-f force overwriting of existing indexme.html]

indexme is a small Perl program for linking several images or documents into a HTML index for viewing and easy overview. The reason I wrote this program was that I had downloaded some gif archives and its way too annoying being forced to open every single file for viewing.

Currently, indexme only supports simple file linking + graphics <img> included file links, but I might keep working on it. (because it's fun, and it's a good way to improve my skills.) The way this version handles command-line switches is somewhat primitive. You can't for example do indexme -rgf, but have to write it as -r -g -f. I'll fix this soon using GetOpt, but for now this is how it works. If you would like to modify the look of the resulting indexme.html file, just modify the HTML contense of the @htmlhead and @htmlend spaces in the program. It's quite simple.

The following options can be used:
-r index recursively -g creates an HTML index file -f force overwriting of existing indexme.html

Examples:

Index all gif files in current directory

indexme -r -g '*.gif'

Index all html files in your system

cd /; indexme -r '*.html'
