     .,$g/title/s/\([A-Z\)/{1}/g

Surrounds all capital letters with braces in lines matching  /ti-
tle/,  from the current line until the end of the file.  This one
ed (or ex) command saved us an hour of work.

The source of problem, however, had been bibtex.  Either I  never
understood  it  well  enough,  or it's designed to narrow-minded.
But as I'll use refer for my thesis, I don't care anymore. :-)


I was told, that the above command can also be done with  Eclipse
in  some  way.  Well,  okay.  I believe Eclipse can do everything
that's possible, but its also magnitudes larger. Do  use  Eclipse
for  huge projects, but I'll go on criticizing any use of Eclipse
for the 90% of small projects.


To filter out non-ASCII characters:

     tr -d '\000-\177'

(Note, that tr(1) doesn't accept input files on the command line,
but only data on stdin. Reasons?)

Searching for /[ -~]/ isn't too bad neither.
