Import .asp files?

TheTruthBetween · 11-16-2014, 01:35 AM

I apologize if this is addressed elsewhere, I did a search and couldn't find anything.

I have a whole bunch of .asp files saved on my computer from a website I downloaded fanfiction from, but calibre won't let me import them, because it doesn't recognize the format. Or rather, I can add them, but it won't open them or convert them.

I was wondering if there was a way to import asp files and convert them to epub. I really don't want to have to open a couple hundred files in Firefox and manually resave them as html.

Just rename them from .asp to .html -- I assume they are the same content either way...

On Windows, simply open a command prompt in the folder that contains the ASP files (you can do this by holding down shift then right-clicking the folder and selecting "Open COmmand Window here"), and type the following:

Code:

ren *.asp *.html

Well that was stupidly easy. You're my new favorite person, okay? Okay. Thanks!
