• Execute the below command to get all links from pages in all spaces of a Confluence instance:
  
  

  --action runFromPageList --space "@all" --clearFileBeforeAppend --common "--action getSource --id @pageId@ --special: "" #"" --append --file spaceLinkList.txt"  --input "--findReplaceRegex ""(?s).*?href=.(http[s]{0,1}://[./a-z]+)#$1,"" --findReplaceRegex ""(?s)(((http[s]{0,1}://[./a-z]+),)*).*#$1"" --findReplaceRegex "",#' \n '"" "

• Execute the below command to get all the links from a single page of a space:
  

  --action getSource --space "ZCLI" --title "PAGE2" --special " #" --findReplaceRegex "(?s).*?href=\"(http[s]{0,1}://[./a-z]+)#\$1 \n"
