So , if i want to edit this file, whats the best approach to do this? Is there any program for this? I cant find Atoms Database on the Internet without getting information about literally atoms (bad namechoice)

Latex .bib orgenizing in overleaf

I am writing a big file in overflow using latex. I will have a ton of references in one .bib file. I would like to organize the .bib file so it is easier to use. I am thinking of some drop down menus (the effect you get when usint \section{} for example). Problem is everytime I open the .bib file the drop down menus are open, I would like for them to be closed. Other suggestions for orgenizing the file is highly appritiated.
Tried with mulitbib but that did not give my desiered result. I only want one big reference list at the end of the document.

find part of rtf file with bold or italic

new to stackoverflow so forgive me if I make any mistake.
I'm new to programming and scripting, although I have messed a little little bit with python and understand the basic of filemaker pro.
This is my problem: I have a full database that I built over the years. Database is just a way to say because, actually, it's a huge amount of rtf files with topics inside it. Now that I've built some real database I want to transfer my data from one to another. Just one table
The real problem is: in my old rtf days, I used to store my data in a easy to view manner, meaning that all my titles were bold/italic/underlined, and the text itself wasn't. So, I have aproximately 200 rtf files, each with 10-20 (sub)topics, waiting to be transfered to a two-columns table (title; content)
I would appreciate if anyone have a better idea than mine. My idea was to run a script that found the bold/italic text, copy it to my table field, find the not-bold, copy to the other field, etc. But I'm unable to find the answer to my simple question: how do I search for (and select) bold text?
I'd like to use applescript (is what I'm sort of comfortable with), but could use some other stuff.
You can try something like:
tell application "TextEdit"
set boldText to attribute runs of text of document 1 whose font contains "Bold"
end tell

Create a corpus with a single file (webpage)

I want to read a single file (the file is a html document) from my computer and store it in a Corpus (I'm using the package tm).
Do you have any solution to do that?
Here is what I tried :
data<-read.csv(fileName)
c2<-Corpus(VectorSource(data))
it mostly works, but I sometime get the error : more columns than column names
I guess I'm not supposed to use read.csv for a webpage, as I didn't find a better solution.
Thanks for your help =)
A webpage definitely does not conform to the specifications that a CSV should. Instead you probably want to use the readHTMLTable function from the XML package.
This is grabbing from an actual webpage but it should be the same idea
file <- "http://xkcd.com/"
dat <- readLines(file)
c2 <- Corpus(VectorSource(dat))

Difficulty with filename and filemime when using Migrate module

I am using the Drupal 7 Migrate module to create a series of nodes from JPG and EPS files. I can get them to import just fine. But I notice that when I am done importing them if I look at the nodes it creates, none of the attached filefield and thumbnail files contain filename information.
Upon inspecting the file_managed table I see that both the filename and filemime fields are empty for ONLY the files that I attached via the migrate module. This also creates an issue with downloading the files.
Now I think the problem has to do with the fact that I am using "file_link" instead of "file_copy" as the file operation I specify. The problem is I am importing around 2TB (thats Terabytes) of image files. We had to put in a special request with Rackspace just to get access to that much disk space on our server. So I can't go around copying from one directory to the next because of space issues. So "file_link" seems like the obvious choice.
Now you probably want to see how I am doing this exactly, so here is the code snippet:
$jpg_arguments = MigrateFileFieldHandler::arguments(NULL,
'file_link', FILE_EXISTS_RENAME, 'en', array('source_field' => 'jpg_name'),
array('source_field' => 'jpg_filename'), array('source_field' => 'jpg_filename'));
$this->addFieldMapping('field_image', 'jpg_uri')
->arguments($jpg_arguments);
As you can see I am specifying no base path (just like the beer.inc example file does). I have set file_link, the language, and the source fields for the description, title, and alt.
It is able to generate thumbnails from the JPGs. But still missing those columns of data in the db table. I traced through the functions the best I could but I don't see what is causing this. I tried running the uri in the table through the functions that generate the filename and the filemime and they output just fine. It is like something is removing just those segments of data.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I am using the Drupal 7 Migrate module version 2.2. It is running on Drupal 7.8.
Thanks,
Patrick
Ok, so I have found the answer to yet another question of mine. This is actually an issue with the migrate module itself. The issue is documented here. I will be repealing this bounty (as soon as I figure out how).

File browser in R

I need to write a small R script for people who never used R before that imports a file and does some things with it. I would like to minimize user input as much as possible, and since assigning the file-path is basically all the user input required I was wondering, is it possible to get a popup screen (basically your usual "open file" screen) allowing someone to select a file (import the name as string in R or something)?
The file.choose function performs this, eg:
fname <- file.choose()
source(file.choose())
You may also want to look at choose.files (for multiple files) and choose.dir (for just selecting a directory path).
The tcltk package gives you tk_choose.files.
If you want to go beyond file choosers then you can use the package to build user interfaces.
It's worth mentioning rChoiceDialogs::rchoose.files. I'm not completely sold yet, but they advertise it as being completely cross platform and fixing the annoying problem common to choose.files and tk_choose.files of popping up behind other windows. See their vignette here.
