Thanks! That is just what I wanted...
Now - how do I put this into a Makefile?
I found out how to put the command on one line:
sed '/%$/{ N; s/%\n//; }' report.bbl new
which works from zsh, but not make:
sed '/%{ N; s/%\n//; }' report.bbl report.bbl.new
sed: -e expression #1, char 10: Unknown command: ``%''
make: *** [report.dvi.stamp] Error 1
Oh, I see the problem - the $/ bit has been removed (by make). How do I
get this to work? No - \$/ just becomes \

Re: sed question (bibtex problem)
Hello Brian,
Check this:
sed '/%$/{
N
s/%\n//
}' yourfile.bib
It should work from command line using bash's multiline input capability
(with the '). It checks for % at the end of lines (hence the $), then
reads the next line into the buffer and then removes the %\n sequence (I
don't quite understand, why sed can't do it with the one-liner you
mentioned, but I guess there's a good reason).
Regards,
Daniel

How about:
1. download source
2. fix source
3. send a patch to the maintainer
That way I won't have this problem when I use bibtex for urls in the
future. ;)
Hmm, I guess that wasn't very helpful. You might want to try adding a
'%' character to the end of your URL in your .bib file. This might
survive past bibtex, and will tell LaTeX to ignore the remainder of the
line. If the remainder of the line is just that extra character, it
might pull off what you're looking for. Or not. I haven't tested this.
