Question

skip / flag problem bib entries during merge

Closed this issue 4 years ago · 7 comments

Hi folks, I have a rather large .bib file with all my references (approx 2200). Not surprisingly a certain percentage have "problems" - some missing entries (missing publisher etc), it is great if they are flagged for future updates but it would be great if I was still able to continue with the merge. Currently bibmanager quits when it encounters such an entry.

Hi, yeah, that's a good idea!
I'm thinking putting the 'problematic' ones into a separate file.
and it should be easy to correct.

Thanks for the feedback!, I'll take a look at this

That would be fantastic!

Dear Ronald,
I have just uploaded the code. It should now not break when the entries have no author, titles, or year fields. In fact, the code should not break even if there are some small format issues. It will rather throw a warning and continue executing. This mimics the behavior of the ``bibtex'' command.

Thank you for raising these issues! Now the code is much more flexible!
I hope it's not the case but, please let me know if you are still seeing issues.
Regards.

PS: I also recently updated a short video tutorial walking through the features added in version 1.3: https://bibmanager.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
PS2: If you end up using this tool for your research, please consider citing it in the acknowledgments. I would really appreciate that.

Hi, it should have been updated since Saturday, have you tried with the --upgrade argument?

pip3 install --upgrade bibmanager
