[Connotea-code-devel] Pubmed: revised bookmarklet i find useful

[Suresh K. <ss...@co...>]

When I use the connotea bookmarklet on pubmed, the URL that is sent often  
contains extra characters with session specific information.

e.g.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=13054692&query_hl=44&itool=pubmed_docsum

I have appended a new bookmarklet that strips off the dopt= and query_hl=  
and itool= fields and submits:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&list_uids=13054692

Now, when the same PMID is bookmarked again, Connotea correctly recognizes  
it as already having been bookmarked, instead of tagging it as a new  
bookmark.

For me, this is extremely important. I use Pubmed a lot and find Connotea  
to be a heaven-sent boon, but having dozens of duplicate abstracts was  
making life very difficult.

I just learnt the necessary javascript to be able to write this. I am not  
comfortable with regular expressions, but if someone can help me replace  
the for loop in the code below with a simple regular expression, I will be  
grateful. For now, it works.... If there are bugs, please do let me know.

Regards,

Suresh
