eValid -- Site Analysis Limit By Extension Details
eValid Home

This page describes for advanced eValid users how to fine-tune the Search With Limitations section of the eValid Site Analysis Preferences Menu.

Subject & Examples Detailed Explanation
Field Format: "," (comma) is the delimiter.

Blanks after ","'s are OK, but otherwise not.

? means to process the field as a string-match inside the query field; eValid presumes either a ? or & in the query string searched.

You can have any number of entries in the field.

In the explanations below, BASE_URL is the URL at which you are starting your eValid SiteMap analysis. This is the value that shows in the Site/Subsite To Search in the eValid SiteMap Preferences Menu.

htm, html, jpg, jpeg, gif
shtm, shtml
jpg, jpeg, gif
Any URL that begins with the BASE_URL and ends in the given extension will be included.
Note, for example, that:
BASE_URL/...anything.phtm will be included if htm was specified.
BASE_URL/...anything.shtml will be included if shtml was specified.
BASE_URL/...anything.gif will be included if gif was specified.
?name=value This means that URLs that have the string ?name=value or &name=value in the query string will be included.
?name This means that URLs that have the string ?name or "&name" in the query string will be included.
Note for example that ?name won't match except on the left hand side of the name/value pair.
?name=value,gif
gif,?name=value
This means that URLs that have the string name=value in the query string will be included, as will any URL's that have the form BASE_URL...*gif.
?name1=value1,?name2=value2,gif This means that URLs that have the string name1=value1 or the string name2=value2 in the query string will be included, as will any URL's that have the form BASE_URL...*gif.
