[Insight-developers] Checking ITK for stale URLs

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Bill,

Good question. The scripts takes a list of files. So I have been executing it by something like "VerifyURLs.py Code/Review/*" or another directory.  So it will scan all files in the directory. The real goal is to verify that all referenced URLs in doxygen or other documentation still work, so likely just *.h *.txx *.cxx is needed. The program just scans any text files you pass as a argument looking for a regular expressions which describes URLs.
