Want to import a enw file into the current activated endnote library by command line.

EndNote EndNote Styles, Filters, and Connections

Hi all,

I’ve a bibliography entry stored in a enw file, say, mybib.enw, which has the following content:

%0 Book
%T Handbook of Optics. Volume II: Devices, Measurements, & Properties
%A Michael, editor Bass
%D 1995
%I McGraw - Hill, Inc.
%@ B0012SM3GI
%F Bass1995
%U http://amazon.com/o/ASIN/B0012SM3GI/

At the same time, I also have opened the endnote software and keep my endnote library activated.  In this case, I want to know, is it possible to import  mybib.enw into the current activated endnote library by command line instead of via the import GUI menu?

Regards,

This will only work if the following are true:

  1. You are using EndNote X2

  2. EndNote X2 is running with a library open

  3. You do not have ProCite or Reference Manager installed on the machine

For ENW files:

“C:\Program Files\EndNote X2\EndNote.exe” “C:\path to file\mybib.enw”

For all other files:

“C:\Program Files\Common Files\Risxtd\Risweb32.exe” “C:\path to file\mybib.ris”

Good, thanks a lot, I’ve got it.
