Categories: Different "writings" in my database

Wed, 08/05/2009 - 06:12 — Kristian Lass

Hi,

I have recently tagged a large amount of records in my database, and right now I am trying to view records to category and hardly anything shows up. Upon close inspection, I have found that Biblioscape has attached category names to my references in two different writings:

Category name
_Category name _

Of course, the two lines are not the same, although I am not aware of any difference in the creation of these names. The consequence is that they are not recognized as being the same. If I change the "_Category name _" records to "Category name", it works fine. But, of course, I do not want to apply that to my whole database by hand.

Did anyone else experience something comparable? Is there any way to get rid of that automatically?

I would be glad for any help!

Best regards
Kristian

Kristian, which version of Biblioscape are you using? This problem is fixed in latter releases. Paul

Hi Paul, right now I am

Hi Paul,

right now I am using Biblioscape 8.03, so at least I don't get any new records with faulty category entries. Anyway, as I have done most of the assignments using an earlier release, I now have the "messed-up" categories in my database. Can I get rid of that somehow?

Thanks!
Kristian

You can first retriev all

You can first retriev all references, then go to "Edit | Replace". Limit the changes to the Categories field and replace "; _" to "; ". Replace "_; " to "; ".
