Question

Is there a TWiki:: API to retrieve a list of all of the intra-twiki links from a given page or web?

I am interested in in writing tools to do statistical and structural analysis of the link structure of a medium-size (and growing) twiki.

Short of copying and hacking much of Render, how would I go about writing a function that takes a webname.topicname (or its text retrieved with TWiki::Store::readTopic) and returns say a list of webname.topicname strings to which that page has links?

any hints appreciated.

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

There are some regular expressions declared in TWiki.pm that help in tracking down external links from a block of text. Suggest you look at the code that does topic renames (follow the logic through TWiki/UI/Manage.pm).
