Getting a handle on a new project

Is there an easy to way create an overview of page properties?

I'm wondering if there is an easy way to break down and organize the .html files for an existing site. I'd like to easily create a spreadsheet containing each file name, along with it's page title, size (including dependencies), and (dare I wish?) perhaps even the corrosponding meta tag components? I'm hoping there's site management software which could produce this information quickly.

Hmmm.. not that I know of though i'm sure somthng like that must exist. Why not just create it in one of the 'office' products?

Well there are 500+ pages. I'd rather not go through and hand copy the info from each file into a spreadsheet. I have traffic reports for last 6 months. If I had the <head> content organized, seems like it'd be easy to quickly grasp what's working and what needs my focus. Perform some triage, if you will.

Too many times I've done a tedious task by hand only to discover later that there was a batch automated process available thru some software. Thought if I threw this one out there, I might get some ideas.

Hi
You can just use a simple script to do this for you.
Some link checker would do this to you I think but I do not remember any.

Isn't is possible to copy from your FTP client into a DB?

peewhy: Didn't know an FTP client could do this. Do you know one in particular that would?

bilalak: Good idea. I'll poke around thru some link checkers.

Thanks for the ideas!
