URGENT!!! - Importing a web help project

[Guest]

Hi Everyone

I've been asked to look at whether or not one can import the web help output into a new help project.

The scenario is this:

• Ongoing RoboHELP master i.e it's always the lastest release we don't have RoboHELP master for previous releases
• We DO have web help output for each previous release but NOT the RoboHELP masters
• RoboHELP seems to have no way of importing web help output back into a robohelp project

How might we use the web help output to reverse engineer into robohelp projects please?

Regards

There is the old painful method but it's free.

There is a script available for Willam van Weelden. It's not free but it is one heck of a lot quicker.

Thanks all just found it as well, definitely looks the best way if it works. Our previous releases in question are Robohelp 8..

I don’t want to use the forums to advertise, but since Peter started it, I would like to make a remark on your ‘if it works’ statement (I assume you’re talking about the script.)

The script recovers about 95% of your project. Never received any complaints

If my recovery script doesn’t work for you I will either: (1) Make it work or (2) give a full refund.
