I use several .bib-files in the BibTeX references at the end of my document. They are all quite large (beyond 1000 entries each). Some references are listed in two or more of the bibfiles and have the same marks (e.g. AMC+99).
Does somebody know, how a particular reference is searched for if it is found in let's say bib1.bib and bib2.bib and bib5.bib? According to the sequence in the BibTeX data bank (which is, let's say 1,2,3,4,5)?
What is the best way to extract the cited references only and put them in a new .bib- file which can be read by pybliographic?
Sorry that this is slightly off topic, but I was encouraged by recent requests re bibliography.
I am using Lyx version 1.3.2
I don't know if somebody mentioned it, but what about bibtool? I've used it and I found it extremely useful,
