BUT creating useful output in JSON format acceptable to SeaMonkey
unlikely :[
Boo! Hiss!!
Sorry about that <snicker>
Have you looked at a JSON file even after pretty printing with "jq"?
HOWEVER I expect I'll be able to create a HTML file which can serve
nicely as bookmarks. That was one of my initial alternative goals.
SeaMonkey used to, natively, I think, do this!!
Yes, Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks then, in the Bookmark Manager,
Tools->Export HTML....
Yes, *BUT*!!!!!
The way they chose to display the HTML hides much of the hierarchical
stucture of nested bookmarks. Whether or not I delete a specific URL
reference depends on where it is in the structure. I have some
intentional duplications.
My path to that will depend on Linux tools. I suspect similar tools
exist in Windows. I will be creating a description of my combination
of scripts and manual edits.
I suspect that this could be done in jq with an expert's skill set.
My goals include:
1. Create a HTML file with hierarchy *CLEARLY* visible.
2. Create a text file of duplicated URLs and how many times
each appears.
3. Create a tool to ease removal of duplicates from *MY* HTML.
4. I might possibly perhaps investigate creating an HTML file
SeaMonkey could import. Enough qualifiers there??
My _preliminary_ TCL [not quite pre-alpha] is:
# Input is SeaMonkey bookmark file pretty printed with "jq '.' ..."
set infile "pretty_json.txt"
# the format of "useful.txt" not yet defined
set outfile "useful.txt"
set fd_in [open $infile r]
set fd_out [open $outfile w]
set children "\"child"
set uri "\"uri\":"
set title "\"title"
set rbracket \]
set mylist [list $children $uri $title $rbracket]
while { ! [eof $fd_in] } {
gets $fd_in b_line
set a_line [string trimleft $b_line]
set c_line [string range $a_line 0 5]
set x [lsearch $mylist $c_line]
switch $x {
1 {procedure1}
2 {procedure2}
3 {procedure3}
4 {procedure4}
}
}
close $fd_in
close $fd_out
