[H-GEN] file conversions

[staeci at yahoo.com]

my 2 cents, not too sure about the exchange rate...

I don't know anything about ref manager or bibtex but if the file is
text couldn;t you just search and replace the seperator character with
a newline character.

off the top of my head in perl baby talk where seperator = :, script
name=choppa and data file = ref.txt

---------------------------

#!/usr/bin/perl

open(data_file, $ARGV[0]);
@data=<data_file>;
close data_file;

$end=@data;

for($x=0;$x<$end;$x++)
{
$data[$x] =~ s/:/\n/g;
print $data[$x];
}


-------------------------

./choppa ref.txt > new_ref.txt
