When I first used lakta I would have used this feature had it been present. I would have liked to get a page with a list of dynamic URLs and then followed the first five, for example. So I expect it would be of interest to future users. There is a link extraction class in the latka code base already but IIRC it was just a command line tool and not integrated in latka. -Janek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
