Extra commas in bib normalisation #15

Closed kopeckyf closed 3 years ago

kopeckyf commented 3 years ago

With wrapperscripts/normalizebib.py, some entries receive double commas at the end of single lines, often the page line. This induces a syntax error. The cause is probably in trailing commas at the end of entries.

Example of bug:

pages = {9--16},,

yeah, there was such a diversity of syntax problems in the bib files that I kept rerunning the script, fixing errors as I went. There's probably a better solution, probably involving making a list of common errors and looking for them.
