list/edit urls

Hi,
The adminstration interface has the option to list urls and to delete the found urls. Is there any possibility to change listed urls (so really list and edit urls):

example:

search for
http://www.foo.com/script.cgi?page=*;guest=*
and
change all to
http://www.foo.com/script.cgi?page=*

Since pages get a session id in the url, I would like to get rid of the session id which is assigned to webinator when walking the pages. I can't strip queries (for instance ?) since the ? is needed to walk the pages.

Thanks in advance,
Suat

The interface as it stands does not let you do that, although the Vortex code for the interface is there if you want to add it. However for what you are trying to do the correct behavior would be to <sandr> the url before inserting it into the table in the dowalk script.

John,
Thanks. I did the following, since the strip queries with "?" was not useful for us, I've changed the dowalk script and changed all "?#" into ";#" and one instance of "#?" into "#;". It's not quite elegant but it works now. All pages containing ;guest=* are stripped nicely.
Thanks again!

Maybe an idea to make the "strip queries Y/N option" a text field where you can fill in any character(s) that should be stripped. Than one can choose to use ? or ; or # and so on.
