HsBible

A bibtex search tool written in haskell. It supports different output formatting styles. However, this is not yet configurable.

Usage

This tool can be used to search bibtex files using regular expressions. After you've installed the dependencies with cabal install parsec regex-pcre ansi-terminal, you can compile the program with ghc --make Main.hs. The program expects a bibtex file followed by a set of key/pattern pairs, as arguments. For example:

$ ./Main references.bib author 'mccarthy' title 'rec.*func.*symb.*expr.*'
@article{rfsetcm1960,
  author = {McCarthy, John},
