[Slogger] Trouble With Variable "$url"

[Ken Schutte]

For now, to at least get that information stored, you could make a log 
file that maps filename to the url.  for example, set the saved page to 
be (like the default):
$year-$month-$day_$hour-$minute-$second-$millisecond.$typeext
and create log file with the content of:
$year-$month-$day_$hour-$minute-$second-$millisecond.$typeext $url


Or you can try entering something like this in the "Custom script" tab 
(I haven't tried this...),

var a = sloggerGetVar("url");
alert(a);
a.replace(/\:/g, "_");
a.replace(/\?/g, "_");
a.replace(/\//g, "_");
alert(a);
sloggerSetVar("url",a);

the alert() lines will let you know if it's running and if the character 
replacement works.  Remove them if it does.
