Maybe its just me but I don't really understand what you want to do. These browsers are opensource, why don't you take a look at the source code?

means what??.
i struck at the reading those files there i need help.

Unfortunately I have no time to read those files and I have no experience with cookie file management of these browsers to share with you. I'm afraid the number of people who performed this kind of task is probably pretty low and chances that we have one of them on these forums is even lower. Why are you doing this if even reading C/C++ source is beyond your current abilities? Start out with simpler tasks.

reading files is not a big deal for me using c++,problem is there are five files which are interlinked to one another.

Follow that link you will get know something about that structure.

Since you have the link which explains the structure why are you asking for someone to explain it to you?

not able to write structure for that.in the section of product name the OS information will be there but writing that structure am not able to.

That does not make much sense. But, if you really cannot make use of the documentation and header file information, then it is unlikely that you will get very far with this project.
