ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for hyperlinking a main file with N target files stored in a computer readable medium (N≧1). A primary filename of the main file, which is hyperlinked with N target file addresses to form a composite filename, has a form of F.E. The composite filename has a form of F(A).E, wherein F and E respectively represent a name component and an extension component of the primary filename. The N target files are denoted as T1, T2, . . . , TNhaving the associated N target file addresses respectively denoted as A1, A2, . . . , AN, wherein A represents A1, A2, . . . , AN. The symbol ( between F and A denotes a first control character that separates F and A. The symbol ) between A and E denotes a second control character that separates A and E. The composite filename is stored in the computer readable medium.
