I was doing something like this with Groovy and Cocoa. You need to add
/System/Library/Java to your CLASSPATH before running this. Here is a
link to a Mac OS X 10.3.9 executable you can use instead of downloading
the whole distribution of groovy: http://homepage.mac.com/spullara/groovy-jsr-02-SNAPSHOT-mac
I suggest you put it in /usr/bin/groovy so you can execute scripts
easily (remember to chmod +x it).
class PropertyListCategory {
static Object get(NSDictionary dictionary, String key) {
return dictionary.objectForKey(key);
}
static Object getAt(NSArray array, int i) {
return array.objectAtIndex(i);
}
static void each(NSArray array, Closure closure) {
for (i in 0..array.count()-1) {
closure.call(array[i]);
}
}
}
filename =
"${System.getProperty("user.home")}/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist";
data = new NSData(new File(filename));
errorString = new String[1];
format = new int[1];
plist = NSPropertyListSerialization.propertyListFromData(data,
NSPropertyListSerialization.PropertyListImmutable, format,
errorString);
if (errorString[0]) {
println "Error: ${errorString[0]}";
System.exit(1);
}
def getURLs(NSDictionary dict, list) {
if (dict.Children != null) getURLs(dict.Children, list);
if (dict.URIDictionary != null) {
list.add([title:dict.URIDictionary.title,
url:dict.URLString]);
}
}
def getURLs(NSDictionary dict) {
use (PropertyListCategory.class) {
def list = [];
getURLs(dict, list);
}
return list;
}
println getURLs(plist);

I did find a (sort of) solution to my problem. First, I didn't make
clear that the Safari Bookmarks.plist is in binary format. That's
what made it hard to read from Java.
However I found the "plutil" utility in /usr/bin that will convert
plists between binary and XML formats. So now I copy the
Bookmarks.plist to /tmp, use Runtime's exec() to run plutil on it, and
then I can use the SAX classes to easily extract the URLs from the
resulting XML.

Does anyone have some code to share for reading Safari's bookmarks
file which is in .plist format? I need to extract all the URLs in
there.
