This is a one time effort, and I can only hope to successfully parse out some percentage of them, but that's what I'm trying to do. I don't know how hopeful to be, and that's why I included the examples, as I thought I might be able to get some help parsing those either individually, or as a series of steps.

For example, I imagine parsing all the monographs out first, which involves both finding the monographs and not finding the other stuff. If I then have a filtered result file with no monographs, I might be able to filter for articles. I'm trying to figure out how to parse each of those example lines I included. After I convert everything to BibTex, the citations should be importable into various tools such as Refworks.

This is my hope. I don't need anything near perfection on the results, just something better than 100% manual tagging.

Any assistance would be hugely appreciated.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
