Designing an Examining Tool

Writing a Scriptlet you could make use of a set of external files. When you have finished it, you need to create a distributable package. For example, you might want to gather all the required files and create a CAB or a ZIP file. In other cases, you could use the list to create an InstallShield project or attach all of them as resources in a Win32 executable.

The tool we would like to design and build takes a given HTML file as its input, and returns all the files that actually compose it. The tool will use the Dynamic HTML object model to get the information. In particular, it checks the page tag by tag and stores each file name found.

For simplicity, we will create this tool—called HTML X-Ray—using Visual Basic 5.
