I have made my BIB file and I am compiling my project using BIBTEX on TeXStudio. In my particular case, I get an error when the reference entry has the month in the following format:

month = jan,

It should be month = {jan},

I tried searching using regular expressions and can succesfully find my targets but then i dont know how to replace (or add the {mmm}) to my search results. I am searching using the following expression: = \w{3}, which guarantees finding any month acronym and not a three letter word such as surname (Lee, Han, etc)

Is there a way to send the search result as an argument to the Replace box and I can just add the {} around it? instead of looking for each month manually and do the replacing one by one.

Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers!

Braces are wrong! Don't add them!

With bibtex, you should either write month = jan or month = {1}.

  • Hey thanks a lot for pointing out that. I will see to it. I am exporting my references from Zotero using betterBibtex and that's how it does it. I assumed it was the right way. However I have to give the benefit of the doubt to my university's template since it's not exactly clean and free of errors – Pipintonix Nov 11 '21 at 13:12
  • However, I'd still love to know how can I do what I was asking in the first place – Pipintonix Nov 12 '21 at 01:42
