Re-import from endnote via JabRef and vim

[Rob van Nues]

Forget all the above about "{" etc....

JabRef generated keys are recognised and loaded fine by Lyx, both on 
linux and Mac OS X.

No need for putting a "-" in between. Sorry. I got all those 
math-related Lyx-errors about "{" and so on because, I think, I 
attempted to load different databases by 'add' and 'delete' using the 
same dialog-box linked to the "Insert>Lists TOC> Bibtex Reference" 
'button' originally inserted. This seems to generate the problem as it 
appears to work when I remove the 'Bibtex Reference' button (and all 
related citations) first, then insert a 'fresh' one through which I 
load the next database.

Subject: import from endnote via JabRef and vim
Using JabRef I managed to import a big database in txt format exported 
as "Refer Export" from Endnote7.  I had to use the JabRef 'Bibtex-key 
generator'  to get the database recognised as bibtex (and also by 
Pybliographer).

Import in Lyx1.3.4 worked (after I got the Lyx-server going somehow), 
but Lyx did not recognise the keys (that came up as 'name1998') it 
seemed that Lys treats such key as a disrupted mathematical expression 
and tried to repair it, which of course did not help. After inserting 
'-' inbetween name and date to 'name-1998' everything worked fine. 
Maybe this is a lyx-bug but it might be helpful to people to know.

PS I used vim to get '-' inserted in all my keys by using 
search/replace with regular expressions.
