## Update Different Fields of Multiple Entries of a BibEntry Object

### Description

Assign new values for specified fields in a BibEntry object using a named character vector or list of named character vectors.

### Usage

    ## S3 replacement method for class 'BibEntry'
    x[i, j, ...] <- value

### Arguments

`x` | - a BibEntry object.
`i` | - see `[.BibEntry`
`j` | - see `[.BibEntry`
`...` | - see `[.BibEntry`
`value` | - values to be assigned to `x`. To update one entry only, should be a named character vector with names corresponding to fields. To update multiple entries, should be a list of named character vectors. Can also be an object of class BibEntry.

### Details

Date and name list fields should be in the format expected by Biblatex (see `BibEntry`).

To clear a field ‘field_name’ from an entry use `field_name = ""`.

### Value

an object of class BibEntry.

### See Also

Other operators: `$.BibEntry`, `$<-.BibEntry`, `+.BibEntry`, `[.BibEntry`, `[[.BibEntry`, `[[<-.BibEntry`, `c.BibEntry`

### Examples

    file.name <- system.file("Bib", "RJC.bib", package="RefManageR")
    bib <- ReadBib(file.name)
    print(bib[seq_len(3L)], .opts = list(sorting = "none", bib.style = "alphabetic"))
    ## add month to Serban et al., add URL and urldate to Jennings et al., and
    ##   add DOI and correct journal to Garcia et al.
    bib[seq_len(3L)] <- list(c(date="2013-12"),
                            c(url="https://bsb.eurasipjournals.com/content/2013/1/13",
                              urldate = "2014-02-02"),
                            c(doi="10.1093/bioinformatics/btt608",
                              journal = "Bioinformatics"))
    print(bib[seq_len(3L)], .opts = list(sorting = "none", bib.style = "alphabetic"))
    bib2 <- bib[seq_len(3L)]
    bib2[2:3] <- bib[5:6]
    bib2
    bib2[3] <- c(journal='', eprinttype = "arxiv", eprint = "1308.5427",
      eprintclass = "math.ST", pubstate = "submitted", bibtype = "misc")
    bib2
