#767 New subdatabase based on AUX file (biblatex)

[Alair Krenz]

It would be nice to have the feature "new subdatabase based on AUX file" for biblatex, i.e. support when using the biblatex-package.

Thanks a lot for this great program.

I hope this request isn't too dormant. I've got a real and recurrent need for this. Thanks!

Actually, a simple bash script turns a biblatex aux file into an aux file that Jabref can use for subbing a database:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

#!/bin/bash # Make a file $1-bibtex.aux with old bibtex syntax out of a # biblatex aux file # (for JabRef's "new subdatabase based on aux file" tool) echo " " echo "Syntax: biblatex2bibtex-aux <aux filename> (no extension)" echo " " grep cite{ $1.aux | sed s/abx@aux@cite/citation/ >$1-bibtex.aux

The attached patch enables you to supply AUX files generated using biblatex.
