Hi Bastien, 

Thank you for your quick reply! I got it to work with: "\\cite{%w+}" 
The only left is that this only matches one reference but doesn't work when 
there's multiple, for example "\cite{reference, referecen2, reference3}"

I've been playing around with "\\cite{%w+%p?%s?%w+}" but I can't get it to 
work with the space after the comma. Would you know a solution? 

Thanks a lot!!
