Ctitools¶

Work with cti index files for the Heise papers c’t and iX

Description¶

This project provides different tool for processing index files from Heise papers c’t and iX.

Saving the current base dataset, downloaded from Heise and extractng to data, the command

> cti2bibtex data/inhalt.frm result.bibtex

creates a .bib file with 82100 entries. Importing this result in Zotero took more than 28h and use more than 7GB of RAM.

cti2bibtex works with the zip files directly now, so the commands

> cti2bibtex ctin2328.zip
> cti2bibtex register-kurz.zip

create the files ctin2328.bib and register-kurz.bib.

Installation¶

ctitools are on pypi now, so

> pip install ctitools

It can also be installed from the source repository on gitlab

> pip install git+https://gitlab.com/berhoel/python/ctitools.git
