I have a big .bbl file which I cannot easily convert to a .bib.
Inside a new .tex file, I would like to use (cite) only few entries of the .bbl file with the help of cite command and the label (present in the bbl).
Is it possible?
Precision: In fact, I have 300+ .tex file which contain each some references (called with cite). There was a .bib at the origin but I have only access to the .bbl now. The .bbl contains several hundred of reference; this is why it is not really an option to copy/paste the references needed.
Here is a sample of the .bbl

You have not given much information, But in most bbl markup you should be able to simply delete the entries that you do not use. It is unusual to have a.bblfile not generated by bibtex, is there really no.bibsource available? (hand written bibliographies have no reason to use that.bblextension.)

Are you usingbiblatexas suggested by the tags? It would be possibly to some limited degree to make use of a pre-existing.bblfile (assumingrefcontexts andrefsections match), but that is very fragile and crucially relies on the.bblversion matching with yourbiblatexversion. Since the.bblmay contain additional (variable) information not present in the.bib(for disambiguation, mainly) it can not be guaranteed that things will look alright when you only select a subset of the entries and ignore the rest.

I would have thought it would be a simple job to just use an editor or perl or whatever, just run latex without the bbl file so latex writes the citation keys to the aux file (which is what bibtex would use) then just extract that list of entries from the bbl file.
