[SOLVED] How to print listing of Firefox bookmarks?

colucix · 01-21-2011, 02:10 AM

Please, try to run the code without redirection and look at the results on the standard output. Just to be sure: the input file bookmarks.html is the original one as exported from "Organize bookmarks" in Firefox.

Code:

anisha@linux-uitj:~/Desktop> awk '  /<H[0-9]/ {  print gensub(/.*<H[0-9].*>(.+)<\/H[0-9]>.*/,"\\1","g")  }   /HREF=/ && /https*:\/\// { print gensub(/.*<A HREF="([^ ]+)".*>(.+)<\/A>.*/,"\\2  <\\1>","g")  }  /^$/' bookmarks.html > bookmarks_with_urls
anisha@linux-uitj:~/Desktop> file bookmarks_with_urls 
bookmarks_with_urls: FORTRAN program

:relief: Perhaps there was a problem with the input file, to be sure I re-exported the bookmarks, and this time it worked and this is what I get, but the links are not being shown as URL's, anyway, thank you for the effort

, now at least I am able to copy them

Code:

Bookmarks Menu

You're welcome!

Indeed copying the complete URLs was the aim of the task.
