Hi everybody !!
Does anybody know id exists an editor for .bst files (bibliographic style
files ?
What do you mean by editor : a graphical interface to create a custom bst
file by point&click. That does not exist.
There is a latex package called custombib that will create a custom bst file
by asking you questions but it is rather limited. If you are looking for a
bst style for a specific journal, there is a database on the internet :

The custombib package not only creates a .bst file, it records the
instructions to generate the .bst file in a file with a .dbj extension.
If you have the .dbj file from a customized .bst file, you can edit
the .dbj (it essentially contains the prompts and responses to the
interview that custombib conducts in designing your style) and recompile
the .bst file with modifications, without going through the entire
interview again.
If you need to tweak something in the .bst file that is not covered by
custombib, you have to edit the .bst file directly in a text editor. (I
had to do this once, with guidance kindly provided by people on the list.)
