Subject: line wrap required on output to avoid "Sorry---you've exceeded BibTeX's buffer size 5000"
When writing to a file opened with Text::BibTeX::File ">filename.bib", it should be possible to enforce line wrapping for long fields (e.g. the abstract) so that BibTeX can process the file without failing with "Sorry---you've exceeded BibTeX's buffer size 5000". I tried to insert line breaks manually: if(length($k)>4000) { $Text::Wrap::columns = 4000; $k = join("\n",wrap("","",$k)); } $entry->set('abstract',$k); but the line wrapping added does not make it to the file written.

The easiest solution to this is probably to use bibtex8 with the -W flag to increase the buffer limits.

Philip, do you remember if we solved this problem? Cheers! On Thu Mar 18 16:29:47 2010, https://philkime.pip.verisignlabs.com/ wrote: Show quoted text
