>> utility to find duplicate bookmarks <<
Woof!!! Turns our to be an interesting question.
I just took a look at my (very old) bookmarks file (which is
indispensable in my daily use of SeaMonkey)
To investigate my own file, with seamonkey closed, I made a copy of the
bookmarks file, then opened that copy with TextPad (an advanced text editor)
I then replaced all instances of;
<A HREF=
with the "regular expression";
\n<A HREF=
or <newline><A HREF=
...then sorted the file by lines
Doing so turned up a _huge_ number of duplicate urls, which, at least,
allows you to see the dupes and possibly then manually delete them...
too large a job in my case with just under 3,000 bookmarks.
At the moment, I have no thoughts or suggestions on how to automate the
process, but you have exposed the need for a utility.
fwiw, I'll ponder on the problem to see if I can come up with a way to
easily scrub my own file.
