Idea for another Firefox extension

Oct 31, 2005 14:04


A quick extension to see a list of all the bookmarks that have shortcuts defined for them.

Implemented as about:bookmarks maybe?

Mainly just something prettier than grep bookmarks.html -e’SHORTCUTURL’ > shortcuts.txt

XPath search would be useful… //A[@SHORTCUTURL] or something along those lines.

edit:
A quick perl one-liner, to be executed from within one’s Firefox profile directory. On Windows, put %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\in Explorer and one of the randomly-named subfolders is (probably) your profile. Then, paste this to cmd.exe:

perl -nle “if(/^.*?HREF=”(.*?)”.*?SHORTCUTURL=”(.*?)”.*?$/) { print $2 . “\t\t” . $1; }” bookmarks.html

On *nix or a Cygwin shell, which interprets quotes sanely, use this command instead:
perl -nle ‘if(/^.*?HREF=”(.*?)”.*?SHORTCUTURL=”(.*?)”.*?$/) { print $2 . “\t\t” . $1; }’ bookmarks.html

I get this output:
