 I think I did something like

 M-: (while (re-search-forward ^@.*{ nil t) (org-bibtex-read))

 Refine the regular expression, if you have any macros.



I just added three functions to org-bibtex.el which should help in these
use cases.  Form the git log,

import whole bibtex files into Org-mode

* lisp/org-bibtex.el (org-bibtex-read-buffer): Reads all bibtex entries
  in a buffer.
  (org-bibtex-read-file): Read all bibtex entries in a file.
  (org-bibtex-import-from-file): Import all bibtex entries from a file
  into the current buffer.

The `org-bibtex-import-from-file' function should be the easiest way to
import whole bibtex files into the current Org-mode file.  Be forewarned
that it may create many top level bibtex entries.

Hope this helps,

Hi Michael,

 I want to migrate all my research papers and references to orgmode, but
 I was not able to figure out howto read/convert an existing bibtex file
 (say literatur.bib) to an orgmode file (say literature.org) where each
 entry from literatur.bib gets an heading in literatur.org with
 attributes corresponding to the stuff from the bibtex entry in
 literatur.bib.

 As far as I was able to find out, this is only possible for a single
 entry via 'org-bibtex-read'.

 Is there something like 'org-bibtex-read' for a whole file?

For what is worth, I'm not using org-bibtex.el anymore but I would find
such a feature interesting.  Hopefully someone can have a look some day.

Cheers,

[O] Howto convert a complete bibtex file into an orgmode file?

[michael . zombok]

Hello,

I want to migrate all my research papers and references to orgmode, but
I was not able to figure out howto read/convert an existing bibtex file
(say literatur.bib) to an orgmode file (say literature.org) where each
entry from literatur.bib gets an heading in literatur.org with
attributes corresponding to the stuff from the bibtex entry in
literatur.bib.

As far as I was able to find out, this is only possible for a single
entry via 'org-bibtex-read'.

Is there something like 'org-bibtex-read' for a whole file?

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Michael
