Question

How can I find links within published files?

I'm trying to locate among a bunch of Captivate projects (about 80, most of which created with Cap 9) those that contain external links to secure websites. I thought all I'd need to do was to search the SharePoint site where they are stored for "https://" or some variation, but no luck there. Is there a particular file (e.g., in XML) among the Cap published files where the link to the URL is annotated? Alternatively, can you think of a way for me to locate those links short of having to review each slide in each project? Thanks in advance!

    If these projects were published as SWF then you would be out of luck because all the link details would be locked up inside the SWF.

    If the output is HTML5, then the link URLs are likely to be buried in the code in the CPM.js file that is the main project file for that kind of output.

    Thank you, RodWard. It looks like I'm out of luck then, as they were published in SWF. Pls let me know if you think of an alternative solution, even if I have to open each project. Thanks again.
