Hi again,
I answer my own question to leave a copy of my (terrible) solution in
the list.
I ended up making a monstrous sed transform to correct:
- all caps author names,
- missing white space between first and last name ie J.Smith -> J. Smith
Here is what it looks like:
sed -e '/[[:space:]]*Author[[:space:]]*=[[:space:]]*{/ {
s/\([[:alpha:]]\)\([[:alpha:]]*\)/\u\1\L\2/g; }' -e
'/[[:space:]]*Author[[:space:]]*=[[:space:]]*{/ {
s/\([[:alpha:]]\)\.\([[:alpha:]]\)/\1\. \2/g; }' old.bib > new.bib
The first substitution matches the first and remaining letters in each
word of the Author field and apply Upper Each First, the second
substitution detects A.A and introduces a space.
This is quite ugly and I'll be happy to hear about a better solution.
Cheers,
Antoine
