Unexpected character '\0' at line 19 column 2

I'm trying to parse a bibtex using your library, but I'm getting the following error :

Unexpected character '\0' at line 19 column 2

Any way to support the null character ?
Thanks 😄

Any way to support the null character ?

I don't know what the '\0' character means in the latex world, but I think we could support it 👍

Could you share the entry you are trying to parse?

Yes ! The bibtex is available at this address. (button export at the top)

I should review my internet skills 😅 I can't find the export button, maybe because i'm not logged in, I've found just a link to export to the .ris format

@Boopr is there other way I can download it or could you send it to my inbox?

Thanks for sharing the file.

The error is caused because when the parser finds a % character inside a delimited-value section, he thinks that a comment section is starting. This causes that all characters after the % are ignored, including the quote that closes the delimited-value section, which causes a unexpected end of file. The message error is not very clear, I agree.

I won't have time to get down on this issue soon, but I've opened a branch.

Some notes:

• In latex the % char should be escaped as \%, but It makes sense not to do it in a bibtex file
• The §4, item 14, p. 14 of official documentation says : "LATEX's comment character '%' is not a comment character in the database files."
  • It means this library does not work strictly
  • I'm not sure whether we should keep the % as comment character in the stable version or not (some libraries do the same)
• The error in travis for PHP 7 is not related to the fix
