BibTeX, biblatex and biber

Hi

I will have to convert more than hundred raw citations into nice bibtex. Ther is fortunately some structure, so some converting rules could be applied.

Is anyone aware of existing macros to do such conversion? How would you proceed?

Thanks!!

Depending on your OS, a tool like Jabref (system independent) or KBibTeX (Linux) might be helpful. Since I don't use them, I can't tell you for sure if the feature you are searching for is integrated.

Take a look also at cb2Bib which was designed for this kind of thing. I don't have much experience with it, but perhaps you could figure it out.

Thanks a lot for the answers!

Frabjous, you pointed to the fight thing I feel, this cb2Bib seems just so nice! And exactly what I wanted to use, great!
