open file in my cgi-bin?

[kslnor]

Here's a (probably) simple question, that I cannot seem to answer for myself: I have a form on my website - created by my former developer - which contains a submit button. I am attempting to determine the email address to where the form is sent upon "submitted". The email address is not indicated within the sourcecode, but a cgi.bin string is. I have a cgi-bin on my host server that contains some files that are related to the form. I would like to look at (and possibly change) some info. within these files but I cannot seem to be able to open the files. Any ideas how I can go about doing so...or better yet how can I change the email recipient of the form? Any help is greatly appreciated.

The email address is most likely contained within one of the files.

Open the files with a text editor (Notepad for example). It may be easier to download the files to your PC first.

Thank you for your reply. You were correct, the email address was contained within one of the file. I must have had a brain lapse or something.

Another related question: My employer's website contains a "contact us at info@#*$!.com for more information", with the "href="mailto:info@#*$!.com" anchor. I would like to change the email recipient but I dread the thought of changing the ahref on all 400+ pages. I scoured the files pertaining to the site but could not locate a script that universally changes the recipient. Any suggestions as to how I can simplify this task? Thank you.

You can use a text editor (Notepad++ for example) that can change multiple pages with one click.

Even MS Frontpage can change the same bit of text on all your pages - Use the Find/Replace function.

I guess maybe I don't really want to change the email address on every page (sorry). Specifically I would like a script I can put on the web server that will forward emails to a particular address when a visitor clicks the "info@#*$!.com" email link. I hope this makes sense. Thanks
