bibmradd(1)

bibmradd1

Add mr numbers to papers in a given bib file

Usage

bibmradd [-d] [-f] [{-e 1 | 0}] [-o output] bib_file

Options

-d

Debug mode

-e

If 1 (default), add an empty mrnumber if a mr cannot be found. This prevents repeated searches for the same entries if you add new entries to the file. Calling "-e 0" suppresses this behavior.

-f

Force searching for MR numbers even if the entry already has one.

-o output

Output file. If this option is not used, the name for the output file is formed by adding "_mr" to the input file

Overview

The script reads a BibTeX file. It checks whether the entries have mrnumbers. If not, it tries to find the numbers from Internet sites. The result is a BibTeX file with "mrnumber=..." fields added.

The name of the output file is either set by the -o option or is derived by adding the suffix "_mr" to the output file.

See the "bibdoiadd" script for more details on the processing.
