Thanks, Peter, but you are WAY overthinking this :-)
The table is a dump of the links on each page of my 1700+ web page
external knowledgebase. The first column is the URL of the page and
the second column is the URLs of the links on that page.
Unfortunately, the tool I had to use for the extraction would list the
source page as a heading and not for each line.
I want to have the page URL adjacent to each link so I can run some
filtering and run some an Excel Pivot Table for some analysis I'm
doing.
