The hyphen [-] in the File field

[Dellu]

Latex requires two hyphens to give out one: So, BE correctly gives out double hyphens [--] for the single hyphen [-] given in the title or other fields, when exporting to bib format. This correctly works for all fields except for the file (User19) field.

If the title has a hyphen, when BE sends it as double hyphen, the file address becomes different.

An article with the Title argument-structure; the PDF renamed by its Title: will have the name argument-structure. The file address (field), however, reads as argument--structure when exported in Bibtex format. This doesn't point to the same file.

Is it possible to avoid the translation of the hyphen for the File(User19) field?

No, if you output with BibTeX markup turned on then you'll get the the double dash.

I don´t want to get the double dash for User19 (file) field. I want to get the single dash because the double dash is screwing the file address.

I understood you. I'm saying that that's not possible. You can't exclude any field when you turn on BibTeX markup, the replacement is done on the finished, formatted output.

oh, ok:

I can replace it back using Jabref then.

Thanks
