If you'd read the messages in this thread you'd understand why I'm not using os.walk(): I'm not using it because I need my code to be aware of the current recursion depth so that the correct number of "../" are substituted in. Also, somebody mentioned wget -R...did you mean wget -r? In any case, I have all of these files locally already and am trying to replace absolute paths with relative ones so that a colleague can present some website content at a location with no internet.
