Then I realized Google Chrome stores its data as a SqlLite Database, so You can parse it easily, here are the screenshots of me doing it so you can replicate it.

Hope this helps someone ;) :pimp

kinda cool, but come on, if the process requires 15 steps and $500 software to do something as simple as "export bookmarks" = FAIL

I'll stick to regexping the html export... :)

ya i know ;) i was just doing it as a test ;)

Bingo. :thumbsup

Your ICQ broken again??

This coding stuff makes my brain hurt
