bibgrep 0.51

bibgrep is a command line tool developed by Guillaume Marceau that allows users to search through BibTeX files.

You can install bibgrep by following the installation instructions provided in the README file of the project's GitHub repository.

bibgrep is designed to be compatible with Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like systems.

While bibgrep is primarily built for Unix-like systems, you may be able to use it on Windows using third-party tools such as Cygwin or WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

To search for specific entries, you can invoke bibgrep with the appropriate search query and specify the path to your BibTeX file. For example: 'bibgrep -i author:Smith bibliography.bib'

Some commonly used search options include searching by author, title, year, or any other field defined in your BibTeX entries. You can find more details about these options in the bibgrep documentation.

Yes, you can combine multiple search criteria using logical operators such as 'AND' and 'OR' to refine your search in bibgrep. Refer to the documentation for more information on how to construct complex queries.

You can exclude certain fields from the search by using the 'exclude' or 'ex' operator followed by the field name. For example: 'bibgrep -i -ex year:2010 bibliography.bib' will exclude entries with the 'year' field set to 2010.

Yes, you can use regular expressions as part of your search queries in bibgrep by using the '-r' option. This allows for more flexible and powerful searching capabilities.
