- About
- -----
- This is an alternative to refbase's web-based import of Endnote data. It
- allows Endnote users to export a text file which can be imported into the
- refbase MySQL database.
-
- Use
- ---
- Part I: Endnote
- - Copy refbase.ens into your Endnote styles directory.
- On win32 systems, this is typically:
- C:\Program Files\Endnote\Styles
- On Mac systems, this is typically:
- Macintosh HD\Applications\EndNote #\Styles
- (where # corresponds to a version #)
- - Open the Endnote file you wish to import into refbase.
- - Choose the refbase Output Style
- - Export to 'endnote.txt'
- Part II: PHP [*]
- - Executing 'php endnote2mysql.php' will produce 'import.txt'
- ('php' must be in your path or you should prefix it with the path to php)
- Part III: Check it!
- - As this is a preliminary script that has undergone little testing, it is
- suggested that you look at 'import.txt' in spreadsheet software.
- - New versions of Endnote dump UTF-8 data. You should be able to use this as
- is if you have a UTF-8 database. If you don't have a UTF-8 database, you
- should convert the file to the character encoding you do use (using iconv,
- recode, or <http://www.motobit.com/util/charset-codepage-conversion.asp>).
- Part IV: MySQL [*]
- - From within your MySQL command line interpreter (mysql -u root literature -p):
- LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "import.txt" INTO TABLE refs;
-
- [*]If you are comfortable that the script works and are on a system with a POSIX
- shell (nearly all *nix, including OS X; Windows through Cygwin or similar),
- you may use Andreas Czerniak's en-importer.sh to automate Parts II-IV.
