There are many questions (with answers) on how to fix the appearance of ----- for the same author names in bibtex. However still I have problem!!

My bib file contains

@IEEEtranBSTCTL{bstctl:nodash,

 CTLdash_repeated_names = "no",

}

@inproceedings{Ebrahimi09,

  author = {E. Ebrahimi and others},

  title = {Coordinated control of multiple prefetchers in multi-core systems},

  booktitle = {MICRO-42},

  year = {2009},

  pages = {316-326},

}

@inproceedings{Ebrahimi09_2,

  author = {E. Ebrahimi and others},

  title = {Techniques for bandwidth-efficient prefetching of linked data structures in hybrid prefetching systems},

  booktitle = {HPCA-15},

  year = {2009},

  pages = {7-17},

}

However the output file looks like

In fact changing CTLdash_repeated_names = "no", to CTLdash_repeated_names = "yes", has no effect! How can I fix that?

In the .tex file, the bibliography is called in this way

documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}

section{Introduction}

 ... works~cite{Ebrahimi09,Ebrahimi09_2}

bstctlcite{bstctl:etal, bstctl:nodash, bstctl:simpurl}

bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}

bibliography{ref}

end{document}

UPDATE

I have a script (in windows) that runs the following commands

:: Run pdflatex -> bibtex -> pdflatex -> pdflatex

pdflatex %2  --file-line-error-style

bibtex  %2

:: If you are using multibib the following will run bibtex on all aux files

:: FOR /R . %%G IN (*.aux) DO bibtex %%G

pdflatex %2  --file-line-error-style

pdflatex %2

In your code bstctlcite must be the first citation command. It will not work if there were any other cites issued before calling bstctlcite.

The IEEETran BibTeX style documentation explains

bstctlcite is silent — it will not add any entry to, or affect the numbering of, the bibliography, nor will it place any citation numbers in the main text. There are two main limitations on its use:

1. For the unsorted BibTeX style, it must be placed before any entries that it is to affect. Because the user will almost always want to apply the changes to all the bibliography entries, a good location is just after begin{document}. For the sorting style, control entries will automatically be given a sort key value that will put them at the beginning of the references. If this is not desired, a control entry can be manually given a key field with a value that will result in the desired sort position.




2. operation is “one shot.” That is to say the same control entry cannot be used again (within the same bibliography). However, it is possible to call another control entry that uses a different key name. This behavior is directly related to the way BibTeX allows a reference to be cited multiple times, yet still produces only one entry within the bibliography.

Hence
