#888 Clean Mathreview Number

[Escoban]

In Jabref, there is a menu bar entry to cleanup up bibtex entries.

How about the following regex to clean up the mrnumber from Math Scinet?

Replace (case insensitively)

(^\smrnumber\s\=\s{\d+).$

with

\1},

By this search and replace, the entry becomes a single number that can then easily be referenced online by

\providecommand{\mr}[1]{MR~\href{http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=#1}{#1}}

in your bst file.

Instead, for example when obtaining the bibtex entry from Math Scinet itself, it often comes as a list of various, equivalent references to the entry on Math Scinet.

Could you please clarify what you are trying to do here? I can't see what kind of mrnumber the regex should match. Normally the bibtex export of MathSciNet already includes the information in the format mrnumber = 3537908.
