Converting FileMaker Pro 12 Bibliography to BiBTeX

Post by WHTextex »

Hi,

Is there anyone out there with info on how best to go about migrating Filemaker Pro files to BibTeX?

I'd like to convert 10+ years worth of bibliography records (~2,000 references with ~6,000 notes) in FileMaker Pro 12 format to BiBTeX format. I've done a bit of online research and so far have only found two tools that might come close to being helpful
- Bibbuild (http://mirror.unl.edu/ctan/help/Catalog ... build.html): last update 2005, and
- Bibtexfmpro (http://www.novajo.ca/bibtexfmpro/): last update 2000.

Unfortunately, they both seem rather date.

It looks like I can export the files as csv and XML files, among others. Maybe that's the way to go?
