Hello all,

I am having trouble finding code that will check links in a table, not all
of the links on a specific web page.

I have csv files that include links to images which are stored on the web.
I have over 1,000 of them to check.

I see things for curl, but that appears to be specific to pulling
information from a website vs. just using a column of url in a table. I
would like the results in a readable table format that tells me which links
do not work. I do not want all of the images opened on my machine, just the
links checked.

Thank you so much for your time.

Jenny VP
