Is there a way to import a bulk list of bookmark/links from a .txt file to either opera bookmarks or speed dial?

Using O21+ for this.

Thanks

How big?

As far as I know, you could use input redirection on the command line to open every item in a list of URLs and then save them all to a folder, but expecting Opera to open a couple of hundred tabs at the same time might be a bit much ...

don't need to open the tabs, just save the bookmarks/speed dial

Yeah, but I can't come up with a better way ...

I was wondering (trying to be creative here) if you could convert the txt file to html per this discussion.

Or you might look elsewhere for an approach.

If you can make that txt file into html, then import the html bookmarks file into Chrome. (Go to Settings in Chrome, Users/ Import Bookmarks and Settings/ and choose from Bookmarks html file). When you have imported the html file into Chrome, then just copy the bookmarks file from the Chrome profile over into the Opera profile.
