@BangDroid Seems to be a problem with your storage.js, or at least something the PowerShell deserializer doesn't like. I wonder what would happen if you copypasted the contents of your storage.js into the JSON validator at jsonlint.com? Or maybe one of your script names includes a character that would be invalid in a filename? I just tested the script again with my own storage.js and it works, but I don't have any sanity checking on the JSON or file writing at all.

if you can't get this PowerShell script to work, I also wrote a JSON serializer / deserializer for gawk.

1. Download the gawk binaries from the ezwinports project. Extract to a subdirectory. (Note: the GnuWin32 port of gawk will not work. The JSON script requires at least gawk version 4.)
2. Save my gawk script.
3. Modify the script and replace the END{...} section with the following code:

END {
    deserialize(json, obj)

    for (i in obj) {
        if (!isarray(obj[i]) || !isarray(obj[i]["value"])) continue
        header = obj[i]["value"]["header"]
        if (!header) continue
        textContent = obj[i]["value"]["textContent"]
        match(header, /@name\s+([^\n]+)/, script)
        gsub(/\s+/, "_", script[1])
        gsub(/[\\\/:\*\?"<>|]/, "", script[1])
        print textContent > script[1] ".user.js"
    }
}

4. Open a cmd prompt or PowerShell window. cd to the directory where you want to save your user.js files
5. Run this command:

\path\to\gawkdir\bin\gawk.exe -f \path\to\json.awk \path\to\storage.js

@calraith I tried to run your gawk and did get following errors:

http://prntscr.com/jyi8hx

I already inserted before and after a square bracket a space because a post on stackoverflow suggested that. Do you have any idea why it is still not working?

@Cappuccino90 I think I see from your screenshot what's going on. The version of gawk supplied with GnuWin32 is ancient (last updated in 2008 I think). My code requires at least gawk version 4 I believe. That's why I recommended using the ezwinports build.

FWIW, arrayname["parent"]["child"] is the appropriate format for a multi-depth array in awk. Don't let anyone talk you into inserting extra spaces.

@calraith Thanks for the response. Sadly it is still not working. It does run the gawk command though without any printed out errors. http://prntscr.com/k5hej4
I downloaded gawk-4.2.1-w32-bin.zip from the link you provided. I hope that was the right package.
This is the content of my json.awk file: https://pastebin.com/U4SBnmNN

After the execution the storage.js file does not seem to have been altered in any form. Also the powershell script still throws the same error: http://prntscr.com/k5hiek Also tried to run powershell as administrator.
Sorry that some of the texts are in german.

Do you have any idea why it is not working?

Kind regards

@Cappuccino90: Would you care to PM me on Pastebin? My username there is rojo. If you like, you can create a private paste of your storage.js then PM me the URL and I'll see if I can help you figure out what's wrong with it. Or if you prefer, try pasting the contents of your storage.js into a JSON validator. The error message in your screenshot, Ausnahme beim Aufrufen von "DeserializeObject" mit 1 Argument(en): "Ungultiger JSON-Primitiv: .", hints that the reason you're having trouble extracting the .user.js files is due to invalid JSON, like maybe your storage.js file is corrupt.

My storage.js file begins like the following:
(function() { Registry.require(["promise"], function() { var f = rea.FEATURES,

JSONLint validator also tells me that the very first character is faulty. The open bracket.
@calraith How does your storage.js begin?

TY so much!
I wish there was an upvote in github to let more users know about this!

@calraith Where is this so-called Tampermonkey storage.js file located? The one I found at %appdata%\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Extensions\dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo\4.7.54_0\storage.js is just 13 KB of JavaScript, not JSON. So I get the same error as @BangDroid and @Remonell.

I guess this script did nothing. The actual scripts should be in User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings and stored in db not some random storage.js.
