Hi everyone,
I've a small set of 9 test records where I'm trying to modify the
subfield $e in the 700 fields, which have 2 entries for roles like
this:
$eCreator (cre)
which I'm trying to change to:
$ecreator

So I'm using this combination:
Find:  (=700.*\$e)(.)(.*)\s\(.*\)
Replace:  $1lcase($2)$3

Now, I've just updated my MarcEdit to the latest changes, but prior to
doing so, this Find/Replace did change the first letter to lowercase
but wouldn't delete the parenthetical code.   And now after updating
my software, it won't do either change.  However, when I run the
Find/Replace, I do get a message that there were 2 modifications (as
expected - though the fields don't actually change).

Note: I've tried to attach my file of 9 records for you see what I'm
working with, but I'm not allowed attachments to the list - so if that
would help, I can send off-list.

If anyone has any ideas what I'm doing wrong, please let me know - I'm stumped!

thanks much!
heidi
