I am on an experiment that used ELOG for all documentation and meeting notes. In our meeting notes we link to elog posts that had been discussed during the meeting. We had done this by hyperlinking the URL to the entry. Recently we had to move our logbook to another machine and so none of our hyperlinks work since the URLs have changed. I noticed that when one creates a new entry in the subject they can reference another post. Is there a way to link another elog in the body of the elog by using its logbook name and id number without having to use a URL?

Thanks in advance

This is one of the rare cases where it helps to read the manual: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html#add (You may need to upgrade to elog 2.9)

If you want to replace the old URLs with the new ones, you can edit the logbook files with the entries. The attached script allows you to do so easily. But be careful, try it on a copy of your data first.

Using:

regreplace "<old-url>" "<new-url>" *a.log

I hope this helps.
