[Refdb-users] addref, nmed2ris

[Markus H. <mar...@mh...>]

Hi,

except memory exhaustion (which I do not assume) the only way to cause
this problem is to drop the leading newline in the RIS file. Each
dataset, including the first one in a file, has to start with a
newline (essentially an empty line). nmed2ris used to create these
newlines when I last checked. It should still do, although I'd
recommend to use med2ris.pl instead. Maybe you lost it during editing?


regards,
Markus
