Hi, how do you generate your key? Just for reference for the interested readers.
I think, you mean that the current suffixes "a".."z" should be replaced by numbers? (Meaning, if a paper exists with AAA09, a new entry with AAA090 should be generated. If that exists, a paper of AAA091 should be generated. Etc. I assume that this is too complex for your regex replacement Cheers, Oliver 2015-10-10 1:45 GMT+02:00 Andrew James <[email protected]>: > I am using a bib file that my PI maintains for our research group to write > manuscripts together, so I can't really change the format of his cite keys. > The program he uses is for OSX only and I am working in linux. > His key format is > > [first author's last name]:[journal abreviaiton in lowercase][year]-[0-9] > > I can generate the same format (almost) except the last character has to be > a unique number not a letter.
