anyone good with sed?

im trying to grab all the links out of a chrome bookmark export file.

i want in the format of <a href="link">name</a>

Code:

cat bookmarks_5_20_11.html | sed 's/^.*HREF="//' | sed 's/".*$//'

works just for the links, anyone have an idea how i can get the full link with title?

you could probably get exactly what you want in one line by using 'cut'

cut -f(whereverhereitis) -d\" (or whatever the encapsulating format is) file

thanks, nice one liner ;)

anyway to trim the space at the end of the " >

so its just <a href="link">test</a> instead of <a href="link" >test</a>

If your cursor is to the right of the space, you use backspace. If it's to the left, you have to use the delete key.

thanks fatfoo ;)

ps got it working

Code:

#!/usr/local/bin/bash



# chrome bookmark cleanup

# converts bookmark export to just links with titles



# our chrome bookmark export file



cat bookmarks.html | \



# grep the links



grep 'DT><A' | \



# remove the <DT> html tag



sed 's/<DT>//' | \



# remove the DATE variable from the link



sed 's/ ADD_DATE=\".*\"//g' | \



# remove the ICON variable from the link



sed 's/ ICON=\".*\"//g' | \



# remove leading whitespace



sed 's/^[ \t]*//' | \



# convert the html link tags to lowercase



tr '<A HREF' '<a href'

found a shorter way.

Code:

cat bookmarks.html | sed '/<DT><A\|<DT><H3/!d;s/<DT>//;/Bookmarks bar/d;s/ ADD_DATE=\".*\"//g;s/^[ \t]*//;s/<A HREF/<a href/'
