A script for finding duplicates in BibTex file(s)

Overview

Several tools for working with BibTeX files.

• find_duplicates.py: This script finds duplicated entries in bib text file(s).
• filter_entries.py: Given a list of bibtex IDs, it filters out entries from a bib text file.

Usage

Removing duplicated entries from the BibTex file (find_duplicates.py)

pipenv install -r requirements.txt
pipenv run python3.9 find_duplicates.py file1.bib file2.bib ...

Filtering entries by Key in a BibTex file (filter_entries.py)

pipenv install -r requirements.txt
pipenv run python3.9 filter_entries.py /path/to/file.bib /path/to/ids.txt

The file.bib is your bibtex file to be parsed, whereas the ids.txt is the path to a text file containing a list of BibTex entry IDs (one per line).
