I went home for Thanksgiving this weekend, and while I was there, I wanted to grab a bunch of old bookmarks on my old computer, and then send the urls to myself back at college. However, IE doesn't have an "export bookmarks" feature. So, I wrote a quick one-off CGI script to go through the bookmarks folder and grab the urls from the files, and then spit them out in plain text format.
#!perl -w
use strict;
use CGI qw(header);
use File::Find;
print header(-type=>"text/plain");
find(\&wanted, $ENV{USERPROFILE});
sub wanted
{
stat $File::Find::name;
return if -d;
return unless -r && -f;
open (BOOKMARK, $File::Find::name);
my @bookmark=<BOOKMARK>;
close (BOOKMARK);
my $head;
if ($bookmark[1] =~ /^BASEURL=/){$head=8}
else{$head=4}
print substr($bookmark[1],$head,length($bookmark[1]));
}
Update: Added $ENV{USERPROFILE} instead of hardcoded path thanks to a comment by $code or die.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
