Re: getting bookmarks from windows

Hi,

I don't know about Firefox, but for IE, how about this:

grep http *.url

You would of course either need to install grep on your Windows box with something like Cygwin or copy all of your favorites over to the Linux box. As for Firefox, it stores them in one file I think so that might be more difficult. You could probably still grep for http however and get usable urls. Getting them imported into Lynx is a little harder as you need to convert it to a form of html that is the same as the Lynx bookmark file.

Since I use linux now I was wondering if someone could tell me how to either: 1. Get a list of the bookmarks and the urls and send them to my self so I have them here on my linux machine.
or
2. Import the bookmarks into lynx.

Is this possible? How would you normally back up your ie bookmarks?
