How difficult is it to write one of those converter modules? I have
access to some good databases on the campus computer system but I
usually end up doing a lot of manual search and replace on the results
of a search to turn it into a refer format. I would like to eliminate
this step.

The resutls are very standard. They always look like this:

Documnet 1 of  10

Title:  The title
Author: The author
Volume: v100n12 -- page(s) 120-121


etc etc

All but pulling the issue number out of the volume line is
straightforward and with a bit of regular expression searching I have
been able to get it most of the way with search and replace. It is
stil tedios, though, and a converter would be very handy. I have a
good Mac programmer here who can help me, and I will release the
resulting module to the world. Tips?
