batch import HTML files

[Guest]

A developer wrote a chm project describing a database and a set of reports. He also provided the same project in a folder containing the uncompressed HTML files. I need to import all of the HTML files (and re-use the css and images folder with its contents). There are over 500 files in the chm project.

How can I import the entire content efficiently into an existing webhelp project I created in Adobe RoboHelp 7?

Is there a chm conversion that I might have missed? I tried out the chm decompiler in RoboHelp. It seems I would still have to import each HTML file one at a time.

Is there a CLI batch command I can use from the run command in Windows? How would I loop it in DOS? I can try out an example you send and tweak the parameters. It's been decades since I used DOS.

First backup your existing project so that if the import does not go as expected, you can recover.

You don't have to import one file at a time. Create the developers folder structure in your project. Then highlight one folder and select import. Browse to the developer's folder and select all the files in it. Repeat for each folder.

Thanks.

I already tried this and it worked.
