How to change the delimiter When exporting references from zotero to bibitex?

utnightwind
I am a beginner of zotero. I try to export the references from zotero to bibtex. In the latex, I use a specific *.bst file to format the references, which delimits the value of a field by double quotes. However, all the files exported from zotero use curly brakets as the delimiter. It leads a mass in the printed pdf file. Who has the solution for this problem? Thanks.

    You can't do that within zotero. bibtexformat and others can change them after the fact.

    But which .bst file do you use? Braces and double quotes are both perfectly valid delimiters.

    Hi,
    Thanks for comments. I use apsrev4-1.bst. Now I think braces and double quotes are not the key. But I don't how to fix the problems when I export references using zotero. I choose bibtex format as the exporting format and then use apsrev format to read the *.bib file. Finally the output of the latex has something like:
    J. Guo, S. Jin, G. Wang, S. Wang,
    K. Zhu, T. Zhou, M. He, and X. Chen,
    \bibfield{journal}{\bibinfo{journal}{PhysicalReviewB}\
    }\textbf{\bibinfo{volume}{82}},\\
    bibinfo{pages}{180520}(\bibinfo{year}{2010}).

    Does anyone face similar problems? Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks.

    If you're getting raw LaTeX fields in your PDF, you are probably not running 'latex' enough. I use rubber to make this easy on myself. But it seems you have a question re. LaTeX & not Zotero. If you have additional problems, you might send a minimum example to a place that provides latex support.
