[tw] Re: Solution for Importing Entries (csv/json) from the Zotero Bibliography Tool.

2016-10-18 Thread Steven Schneider 
Hello, sorry to be late to the party. 

For high-quaity csv-to-json conversion see 
http://www.convertcsv.com/csv-to-json.htm

I to am very interested in this, for the same reason -- bibliographic 
entries -- and am trying to get JabRef to generate a JSON file for 
importing (ideally, without an intermediate csv step. If you are willing to 
take that step, see my workflow:

https://stevesunypoly.updog.co/bibtex/bibliography.html#Steps%20to%20create%20tiddlers%20for%20each%20entry%20in%20bib%20file

or more generally, 

https://stevesunypoly.updog.co/bibtex/bibliography.html

Let me know if you are still working on this; perhaps we can put our minds 
together...:)

 Hi Mark,
 the last string I tested was:

 title,tags,text,birth,death
 "John Smith","English male,Therapist","Explorer, Artist","1900","1981"

 because I wanted to see it work...
 This means I copypasted it right from the mail to the field...

 Yours Jan

 Can you share the lines that crashed it?  I would guess that you either 
 have an empty field or a blank line somewhere.

Congratulations Jan. The good thing about the name Zotero, is that anyone 
looking for your solution will have an excellent chance of finding it.
