I have a bibliography on a subject (don't matter what subject it is, there is about 20 different files and about 1000 records). I need to convert it into csv (or any other table format which can be opened in Excel/LibreOffice Calc etc.)

Can anyone name a tool for this?

Open the .bib-files in Jabref and export it as OpenOffice .csv-files. You find the option under the menu File, Export

Jabref_export

Since you can run Jabreffrom the program's home page, you don't have to install it. You need Java, though.

Thanks. Jabref is cool thing. It's a bit strange but still cool. – Georg Aug 31 '12 at 5:50

Best bet would be a scripting language, e.g. Python. I don't know if you are a programmer, but making a script taking each entry and converting them shouldn't be too long.

I already thought about it. But I'm looking for a existing tool for it. and, actually, I don't know any scripting language – Georg Aug 30 '12 at 18:02
