Hi,
Within our Company we have a CODA library with a lot of pages. We also inserted external links to our Sharepoint. Is it possible to create fast & efficient an overview of all our external links used in our journal?
Hi Carlijn,
Welcome to the community!
So you and your team wrote directly on the pages (the canvas) and inserted some links that you would like to collect into a single table. Did I get this right?
Unfortunately there is not a straight-forward solution for this.
I think you have 2 options, both of them mean changing a bit how the team is using Coda at the moment:
- Use rows with canvas columns instead of pages. In a canvas column you have almost all the options you have on a normal page canvas, but the content can be accessed by formulas and therefore you could parse it to extract all links.
- Do it the other way around. Add the links first to a central table and then create in-line formulas on your pages to refer to them.
Let me know if anything is not clear for you.

With @Pablo_DV , I make the same assumption.
what you can do is develop a regex based function that runs through all the text on the page, which is only possible if you copy paste the text into a canvas column (one page per row), then the regex function extracts all the urls and via a button you push these urls into a second table (one link per row).
This is a bit more complicated, but it can be done.
cheers, Christiaan
