The Full Filespec refers to the entire file specification, including the drive, path, filename, and extension.

Examples:
C:\work\dave.xls
http://www.xyz.com/abc.htm
\\SERVER\SERVER-N\Folder1\newfile.doc

Step-By-Step Guide

  1. Open LinkFixer Advanced and select Move/Rename.

  2. Select Create Rules and click "Add Rule" button.

  3. Click the Component drop down menu and select "Full filespec".

  4. Type in the full filespec in the "From:" and "To:" you want to modify.

    LinkFixer Advanced searches for links that contain a string of characters that exactly matches the contents of the     From field. It then replaces that string with the contents of the To field.


  5. Click "OK" to save the rule.
