[Isis-users] Import RIS Files using MX

[De Smet Egbert]

Hi, 
the RIS format actually is a 'tagged text' file, with the tag being 2 characters, a space, a hyphen and a space, e.g.
AU - Dostojevski

So one way to deal with it would be to use the CISIS-utility 'ID2I' (also part of ABCD in the cgi-bin folder), which however expects the tag to be in the format of : !vXXX!
So you would need to process the input RIS-file with a 'search and replace' action (available in most text-editors) to change AU- to v001! to put the authors in v1, and so on.

This also requires all records to start with the same tag, so as to allow adding a 'record separator' with the same 'search and replace' tool, e.g. 
search : AU - 
replace with : !ID 000000
                        AU - 

Well, I have never tried it but it should work in principle.
In ABCD itself (utilities/import) there is a way of defining a table for conversion of text-input into ISIS-records, with the possibility to define tag-texts and the destination fields for each tag.

Hello,

I wonder if I can import RIS files using MX. Is it possible?



Eu gostaria de saber se há como importar arquivos RIS para uma base CDS/ISIS usando MX. É possível?
