    <p>Im trying to add a import bookmarks function to my app. I have some of it but it will just extract all URLs and titles.</p> <pre><code>- (NSArray *)urlsInHTML:(NSString *)html { NSError *error; NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"(?&lt;=href=\").*?(?=\")" options:NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive error:&amp;error]; NSArray *arrayOfAllMatches = [regex matchesInString:html options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, [html length])]; NSMutableArray *arrayOfURLs = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; for (NSTextCheckingResult *match in arrayOfAllMatches) { NSString* substringForMatch = [html substringWithRange:match.range]; NSLog(@"Extracted URL: %@",substringForMatch); [arrayOfURLs addObject:substringForMatch]; } // return non-mutable version of the array return [NSArray arrayWithArray:arrayOfURLs]; } - (NSArray *)titlesOfTagsInHTML:(NSString *)html { NSError *error; NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"(?&lt;=\"\\&gt;)(.*?)(?=\\&lt;\\/)" options:NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive error:&amp;error]; NSArray *arrayOfAllMatches = [regex matchesInString:html options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, [html length])]; NSMutableArray *arrayOfURLs = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; for (NSTextCheckingResult *match in arrayOfAllMatches) { NSString* substringForMatch = [html substringWithRange:match.range]; NSLog(@"Extracted Title: %@",substringForMatch); [arrayOfURLs addObject:substringForMatch]; } // return non-mutable version of the array return [NSArray arrayWithArray:arrayOfURLs]; } - (IBAction)import { ProgressAlertView *progressAlert = [[ProgressAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Crux" message:@"Importing Bookmarks..." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil]; [progressAlert show]; NSString *htmlString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:importingBookmarkFilePath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil]; NSArray *urls = [self urlsInHTML:htmlString]; NSArray *titles = [self titlesOfTagsInHTML:htmlString]; //float progress = [[NSNumber numberWithInt:i] floatValue]/[[NSNumber numberWithInteger:[urls count]-1] floatValue]; for (int i=0; i&lt;[urls count]; i++) { Bookmark *importedBookmark = [[Bookmark alloc] init]; importedBookmark.url = urls[i]; importedBookmark.title = titles[i]; [[[BookmarkManager sharedInstance] bookmarks] addObject:importedBookmark]; [[BookmarkManager sharedInstance] saveBookmarks]; } } </code></pre> <p>But I cant find how to determine folders so i can keep theme exactly the way they were in the other browser. To see how safari exports them just go to file>export bookmarks and you can see the html file. It puts everything in a definition list with the folder titles. Using NSREgularExpression or other ways, how can i get each folder title, and everything in that folder?</p> <p>I have tried using NSXMLParser to parse the html, but it stops at the first definition list tag and fails.</p>

    1. COSince the contents are hierarchical, using XML parsing is better than regex parsing to achieve the results you are looking for.(This comment assumes that you are using the html file exported by Safari)

    2. COYes I am, I didn't know I could parse it with XML. Can NSXMLParser do this?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
