I have read a number of messages concerning importing various types of
tagged text files into EndNote.

I have written a few macros that convert various tagged formats into the
EndLink tagged format (on the Mac). I can convert tagged files downloaded
from ABI-Inform on Dialog and ABI-Inform abstracts written to floppy disk
from Proquest CD-ROMS. In both cases I can download from an IBM machine
and convert the text file to a Mac format and then run my macro.

The macros are written using the GREP search capability of QUED/M text
editor for the Mac. QUED/M is the baby brother to the NISUS word
processor. I am sure that my macros can be converted to any text editor
that employs GREP searching. (I know that there are Mac shareware text
editors that handle GREP. BTW, Global Regular Expression Parser (GREP) is a
search mechanism originally implemented on Unix.) I would bet that there
are IBM text editors that handle GREP.

If anyone is interested, I will be happy to e-mail them the macros or post
them to the Magic FTP site if there is interest. I annotated one of the
macros so my macro can be deciphered. They are not hard to write (at least
after I wrote the first one :-).) They can make importing files into
EndNote via EndLink a great deal easier to accomplish.
