General ⇒ JabRef and LaTex

[ZexyLaTex]

Hi,

I am using JabRef to organize my literature. But I want to keep the literature (.bib) file in a directory other than my LaTeX working directory. When I have the *.bib file in the same directory it works fine but after moving it to another directory and specifying the place of the bib file it doesn't work.

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{MyName/projects/My Documentations/Bibliography files/Quellettttt}

Is the problem the space between the name of the folders? If not then how can I fix it.

Thank you,
MH

You have to use quotes:
"MyName/projects/My Documentations/Bibliography files/Quellettttt"

However,the simplest is to put your .bib files in TDS conforming root directory, e.g.

myTeXMFlocal/bibtex/bib/whatever-directories-you-want

and declare myTeXMFlocal/ as a root directory.

Another way would be to bibtex your .bib files with a
--include-directory=... directive (maybe set as an environment variable).
