[Bibtexml-users] made little changes on bibtex2xml.py

[Thomas K. S. <csa...@ui...>]

hello,

although i'm a bloody beginner with python i dared to do some changes on 
bibtex2xml.py

for my purposes it was useful to allow the script to take data from stdin 
if no argument is given.


here the changed parts of the script:


def datahandler(data):
     filecontents_source = data
     washeddata = bibtexwasher(filecontents_source)
     outdata = bibtexdecoder(washeddata)
     print '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>'
     #print '<?xml-stylesheet href="bibtexml.css" type="text/css" ?>'
     print '<!DOCTYPE bibtex:file PUBLIC'
     print '    "-//BibTeXML//DTD XML for BibTeX v1.0//EN"'
     print '    "bibtexml.dtd" >'
     print '<bibtex:file xmlns:bibtex="http://bibtexml.sf.net/">'
     print
     for line in outdata:
         print line
     print '  <!-- manual cleanup may be required... -->'
     print '</bibtex:file>'


def filehandler(filepath):
     try:
         fd = open(filepath, 'r')
         filecontents_source = fd.readlines()
         fd.close()
     except:
         print 'Could not open file:', filepath
     return filecontents_source

# main program

def main():
     import sys
     if sys.argv[1:]:
         filepath = sys.argv[1]
         data = filehandler(filepath)
     else:
     datahandler(sys.stdin.readlines())

if __name__ == "__main__": main()



thanks, had a lot of good expieriences with this software...

# just splitted of filehandling part

      try:

          fd.close()

      else:
  	# instead of exit() read stdin here
      	filecontents_source = sys.stdin.readlines()
      contentshandler(filecontents_source)

if __name__ == "__main__": main()

</snip_code>

thanks to developers, this software was really useful to me...

thanks for the suggestion and the code.
i've included this code in the bibtex distribution.
