I have a file of publisher records that I am using MarcEdit to update prior to loading them to our catalog.  The records have multiple 856 fields like this:

=856  40$uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/0-306-47949-4$zConnect to this title online.
=856  41$3Table of contents$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy035/2002034181.html
=856  42$3Publisher description$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0813/2002034181-d.html

I need to add a prepend for our proxy server to the 856 40 $u only. There is no need to add the prepend to the links for the table of contents or the publisher description. Is there a way to have MarcEdit only make the change to one 856 per record or will it have to change all of them.

Additionally if we were to determine we want to delete the extra 856 fields and only keep the one that actually links to the full text of the item.  Is there a way to delete those while saving the one we want to keep?
