Hi Bob,
Of course Rev can do that, and quite easily too :)
The following script should get you started
answer file "Import which filme?"
if it is not empty then
put url ("file:" & it) into tData
repeat for each line tLine in tData
switch char 1 to 2 of tLine
case "%A"
put char 4 to -1 of tLine & return \
after tAuthors
put "tAuthors" into tLastVar
break
case "%D"
put char 4 to -1 of tLine into tYear
break
case "%P"
put char 4 to -1 of tLine into tPages
break
-- ...
-- for each %-code, react appropriately
-- ...
default
-- it didn't start with a %-code
-- so append the data to the variable
-- of the previous line
do ("put return & tLine after" && tLastVar)
break
end switch
end repeat
end if
--
I'm guessing that %0 signals a new publication, so you
would probably save all the collected data from the
variables into a back-end database, empty the
variables, and proceed as planned.
Hope this helped,
Jan Schenkel.
