URL History.

I wrote this program back in December 2005, what it does is to read in a ie or mozilla history file and will output it to a comma delimited, tab delimited or html file. You can also open it in Excel or a browser and sort the records in ascending or descending order. I know there are many programs that will do this but this program has one special feature that I added, you can make it output url records between specific dates so you can narrow down your search of url records.

When I created this I modeled it after pasco. It is a gui program and that is why it is so large, this would probably be a good candidate for an autoit front end instead of perl. One thing I did find out about pasco is that it looks in the index.dat file for the size of the file and only reads until the file size. What I found is that file size stored in the index.dat files is not always kept up to date. My program just reads until the end of the file so it will always get all the records.

The code and executable can be found here. As always comments, suggestions, improvements to the program are always welcome.
