Output shortened wrongly?

[kellertuer]

Thanks for providing this nice package – I am actually using it regularly. Today I stumbled upon a strange error namely for

The output seems to be shortened wrongly somehow? I have not yet had the chance to dive too deep into this package, maybe you see easier what happens here.

I noticed this as well the other day but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I'm guessing this is either due to a change in what is "delivered" from the https request or some change in a more recent version of Julia. I guess the latter is not so likely.

Ok, I can try to find some time on the weekend to take a look how you get the data :)

[thchr]

I think the issue is that different fields used to be introduced with a \t but now it's a plain space - so my regex hacks fail. In the short term, we can do a new regex hack; in the longer term, it should be using a BibTeX parser.

[kellertuer]

Yeah, there is https://github.com/Humans-of-Julia/BibParser.jl but it is a bit inactive recently – and I also did not yet have the time to help there either.

I also have this unregistered parser: https://github.com/thchr/SimpleBibTeX.jl. Less sophisticated, but works well enough.

https://github.com/thchr/DOI2BibTeX.jl/commit/bc459c98e83b0aec55d23589b92122e223719456 should fix this, at least in the short term. Longer term, we do need to change to a BibTeX parser (now logged in #8).

Your example above is now no longer truncated (but the database gives an ugly title - but that's outside the scope of this package to fix):

julia> doi2bib("10.1016/j.jat.2007.03.002"; abbreviate=false)

Compare with raw return value of the get request:

It will be ~15 minutes before the new version is registered though.

Quick fix! Nice. Will check tomorrow :)
