Script to parse bookmarks file
I am using Internet Explorer v10 at work and regularly need to import my personal Firefox bookmarks over. Long story short, I have found the import falling over on any bookmark elements which are over 256 characters.
The bookmark file contains bookmarks of this format:
<DT><A HREF="http://www.lasoo.com.au/" ADD_DATE="1394006093" LAST_MODIFIED="1394006093">bookmark text is here</A>
If the text from HREF onwards, up to but not including the “<” of the “</A>” is great than 255 characters then the import fails.
Can anyone suggest a script which can identify the offending lines so I can manually edit them?

pdbtxt2html
pdbtxt2html(1) General Commands Manual pdbtxt2html(1)
NAME
pdbtxt2html - Doc Text to HTML converter for Palm Pilots
SYNOPSIS
pdbtxt2html [ -t ] file.txt [ file.html ]
pdbtxt2html -v
DESCRIPTION
pdbtxt2html converts text converted from a Doc(4) file via txt2pdbdoc(1) to HTML. If no HTML filename is given, the generated HTML is sent
to standard output.
Document Title
The first line of the file is used for the HTML document title.
Bookmarks
The last line of the file is examined and, if it contains a string enclosed between < and >, that is taken to be the bookmark marker. The
entire file is then scanned looking for lines beginning with it (ignoring leading whitespace). These lines are converted to HTML headings.
The number of whitespace characters after the first bookmark marker is used for heading level 1. The level of subsequent headings is set
to the number of whitespace characters between the bookmark marker and the bookmark text minus the number for the first bookmark plus one.
Embedded URLs
Valid URLs (according to RFC 1630) embedded in the text are turned into hyperlinks. The ftp, gopher, http, https, mailto, news, telnet,
and wais URLs are recognized.
OPTIONS
-t Compile a table of contents and insert it between the first heading and the body.
-v Print the version number to standard output and exit.
EXAMPLE
To convert a Doc file to HTML:
txt2pdbdoc alice.pdb alice.txt
pdbtxt2html alice.txt alice.html
