How to edit many bookmarks

[michaa7]

In my bookmark tree I need to edit many bookmarks within (under?) a particular BM folder. I need to edit the *.TLD part of the adresses only .... to many but not all the bookmarks.

How could I do that the easiest way (and possibly recursively)?

@michaa7 Hi!

The Easy Way
Use the bookmarks manager:
https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/bookmarks-speed-dial/bookmark-manager/
You can filter on what you need to replace, and from then it's pretty much: Select bookmark > 2xTab, edit, 2xShift+Tab, repeat.

The Little More Complicated Way
Find your profile folder from Help > About
Open the file Bookmarks in a good text editor.
Use the text editor's features to search/replace/edit.

The Hacker's Way
sed -i 's/.net/.com/g' Bookmarks
Modify regex as needed.
Maybe do a backup first and don't use -i
