I'm writing an article and have to communicate the references in a .bib format with my co-authors. I have a single central .bib file (where there are 100-200+ citations) but want to give the .bib file containing only the (approx) 20 citations cited in the article. Is there a command/manoeuver/shorcut to generate such a file? I use vim as a text editor and use terminal for commands (such as pdflatex as well as biber for citation management. I looked at this question: and ran sequentially:
pdflatex filename
bibexport filename
I got the following message:
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2019)
The top-level auxiliary file: bibexp.1620677239.aux
I found no \citation commands---while reading file bibexp.1620677239.aux
I found no \bibdata command---while reading file bibexp.1620677239.aux
I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file bibexp.1620677239.aux
(There were 3 error messages)
as well as a empty file bibexport.bib
I then tried the following command:
$ biber --output_format=bibtex --output_resolve report.bcf
but got the following output:

what am I doing wrong?
biblatexas the tag suggests, thenbibexportmight not work. You may want to try the Biber-based suggestions from https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/41821/35864 – moewe May 10 '21 at 20:13biblio.bib? Biber reports an error. Apparently there is a:that shouldn't be there. (You should also check yourmonthfields,month = {apr},is wrong and should bemonth = apr,because months are technically implemented as@strings and not as normal field content.) – moewe May 10 '21 at 20:52Chahal_2015: Injournal = {JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging}: Cardiovascular Imaging}the curly braces don't match. It probably should just bejournal = {JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging},– moewe May 10 '21 at 21:00
