I can't get it to work on Mojave. Any help?

Just figured this out. Mojave added extra security layers to everything, so you have to go into System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy. Under "Full DIsk Access" add Terminal. After Terminal.app relaunches, rerun the script and it should work again.
very good, thank you
I love this!!! Thank you!!

Piping to
open -f
opens everything in TextEdit which is much nicer, imo./usr/bin/plutil -convert xml1 -o - ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist | grep -E -o '<string>http[s]{0,1}://.*</string>' | grep -v icloud | sed -E 's/<\/{0,1}string>//g' | open -f
You don't have to remember this line, the following command will create a script called
ExportReadingList.command
and opens finder to show it to you.printf '#!/bin/bash\n'"/usr/bin/plutil -convert xml1 -o - ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist | grep -E -o '<string>http[s]{0,1}://.*</string>' | grep -v icloud | sed -E 's/<\/{0,1}string>//g' | open -f\n" > ExportReadingList.command && chmod +x ExportReadingList.command && open -R ExportReadingList.command
Whenever
ExportReadingList.command
is executed (from Finder), it will open TextEdit with the current reading list and bookmarks.
