Sorry dan, it is not an answer...

Instead, I can also report a problem I have in importing correctly some data in
a custom made filter. Difficult to describe it totally, but:

With my set up, I recover no date in the correct field (I think that it is
overriden by the source parsing algorithm...), and I have a consistent problem
with the volume field, which is imported in two fields due to the occurence of
a "-" sign within the data.
I must mention that all my fields are custom (for a use in humanities) and
therefore, the volume field contains data like:
"in-8, Tome 1" etc...

I am lost and gave up trying ixing it, but if anybody sees a hint...

Thanks

I am concerned about this thread because I am considering buying Endnote and En
dlink for the Macintosh.  Hope someone posts an answer or an explanation

Hello All,

I hope none of you mind me including some quotes in my reply.

This is because EndNote attempts to match up the whole journal line and
can't do that in this case. You have a space between the p and "Pages" and
the example download you give doesn't. You should write another line
without it in the filter, or simply delete the space. You can have more
than one line in your filter for a tag. The must be organized with the
most complex fist though. The reason you wold define more than one is that
many online sources have variation within their output.

Well it seems like that if you have only the "Journal" field that EndLink
would put everything into the Journal field. However, for some reason
"source parsing" is kicking in on the second example but not the first.
Perhaps these are two different filters. Or perhaps you defined the source
line tag before changing the filter. "Source parsing" is where EndLink
attempts to break up the source line into its proper EndNote fields. You
might want to look in the notes field, I bet you will find your missing
information there, that is what smart parsing does with info it can't
identify.

The other thing here that concerns me is the ' character at the end of
your first example. Such a control character at best will simply keep
EndLink form ever matching that line to a line in your downloaded file. At
worst it will do really weird things. It is possible that this control
character appears in your posting but not in the actual filter. If not you
should remove it.

Basically you will get the best results from simply erasing the space
between the "p" and the "Pages" and control character from your line in
the filter. This should allow EndLink to import the example with no
problem.

Hope this helps.
