I want to convert a huge (+500 well done references) from a EndNote file to a .bib, in order to use it with BibLaTeX.
I would love to preserve grouping, some special refernce types I created and so on. I would like to use JabRef but all import/export filters/tool have some problem or simply don't work.
Some experiences and suggestions?
Thanks

Import from EndNote
There is a conversion library available from EndNote that allows you to export things in a format BibTeX will understand. It's not perfect---in particular, you'll have to manually edit all superscripts and subscripts and any accented characters. But it will get you most of the way there.

Unfortunately, since EndNote doesn't actually use labels to refer to references in your database, you will have to manually create a cite key for each one you wish to use.
I found someone who created a slight modification to the BibTeX_Export.ens file to create a label for you:
