Hello,
I want to migrate all my research papers and references to orgmode, but
I was not able to figure out howto read/convert an existing bibtex file
(say literatur.bib) to an orgmode file (say literature.org) where each
entry from literatur.bib gets an heading in literatur.org with
attributes corresponding to the stuff from the bibtex entry in
literatur.bib.
As far as I was able to find out, this is only possible for a single
entry via 'org-bibtex-read'.
Is there something like 'org-bibtex-read' for a whole file?
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Michael

For what is worth, I'm not using org-bibtex.el anymore but I would find
such a feature interesting. Hopefully someone can have a look some day.

I think I did something like
M-: (while (re-search-forward "^@.*{" nil t) (org-bibtex-read))
Refine the regular expression, if you have any macros.

I just added three functions to org-bibtex.el which should help in these
use cases. Form the git log,
import whole bibtex files into Org-mode
* lisp/org-bibtex.el (org-bibtex-read-buffer): Reads all bibtex entries
in a buffer.
(org-bibtex-read-file): Read all bibtex entries in a file.
(org-bibtex-import-from-file): Import all bibtex entries from a file
into the current buffer.
The `org-bibtex-import-from-file' function should be the easiest way to
import whole bibtex files into the current Org-mode file. Be forewarned
that it may create many top level bibtex entries.
Hope this helps,
