[Tex/LaTex] Multiple references

biblatexciting

I have several references like \cite{a,b,c,d,e} which produces an output like
[1], [2], [3], [4], [5].

Is there a way to automatically generate the above as [1]-[5]?

Based on your rudimentary information I guess you are using the style numeric-verb (Thanks lockstep). First of all I recommend to use the style numeric-comp which has the following output as default:

[1-5]

To obtain this output, see Combine reference citations. However it seems that you request the format

[1]-[5]

This is also possible by a modification of the command \cite:

Here is the example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=numeric-comp,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\DeclareCiteCommand{\cite}[\mkbibbrackets]
  {\usebibmacro{cite:init}%
   \usebibmacro{prenote}}
  {%
   \renewrobustcmd*{\bibrangedash}{\bibclosebracket\textendash\bibopenbracket}%
   \usebibmacro{citeindex}%
   \usebibmacro{cite:comp}}
  {}
  {\usebibmacro{cite:dump}%
   \usebibmacro{postnote}}

\begin{document}
\section{foo}
\cite{companion,knuth:ct,knuth:ct:a,knuth:ct:b,knuth:ct:c}

\parencite{companion,knuth:ct,knuth:ct:a,knuth:ct:b,knuth:ct:c}


\printbibliography
\end{document}

I wouldn't use the conference mode of IEEE but use ieeeconf directly instead if I were you but that's another story.

IEEE has certain standards and all their classes, not surprisingly, obey those standards. What you are asking is something IEEE doesn't want and that's why it's not supported. However for personal use you can override it. Using natbib is not a good idea with IEEE as it's specifically discouraged.

\documentclass{IEEEtran}
\usepackage[noadjust]{cite}
\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents*}{test.bib}
@MISC{test1,
title = {Reference test1}
}
@MISC{test2,
title = {Reference test2}
}
@MISC{test3,
title = {Reference test3}
}
\end{filecontents*}

\renewcommand{\citedash}{--}    

\begin{document}

 \section{Test}
 \cite{test1,test2,test3}.
 \bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
 \bibliography{test}
\end{document}

By adding

\renewcommand\multicitedelim{\addsemicolon\space}

to your preamble, a semicolons is placed between multiple items. Found this here.
