You might try writing bibtex macros that would parse them, then
write them out in an easier to parse by you form.


If you are only doing it once, you don't need the full syntax that
bibtex allows, but only what yours use. That might allow for a
simpler parser.


I presume, for example, that TeX macros could be used in the
bibtex file, which you would otherwise have to parse.
