hi all, i'm pretty much completely new to python and am trying to create a simple extension for use in ulysses.
basically i want to take a clipboard input in this format:
Hamlin, S. A., Henry, T. S., Little, B. P., Lerakis, S., & Stillman, A. E. (2014). Mapping the Future of Cardiac MR Imaging: Case-based Review of T1 and T2 Mapping Techniques. RadioGraphics, 34(6), 1594–1611. http://doi.org/10.1148/rg.346140030
and turn it into:
{Hamlin:2014XX}
where XX is a crc32 hash generated from the latter part of the url at the end (ie. "10.1148/rg.346140030") according to this:
http://support.mekentosj.com/kb/cite-write-your-manuscripts-and-essays-with-citations/universal-citekey#universal-citekey-generation
the javascript example is available here: https://github.com/cparnot/universal-citekey-js
i can do the last name and year parsing quite easily but i'm not sure how to approach the hash generation. can anyone provide assistance?
