I've been wracking my brain for the better part of a day over this issue.  I need to prepend existing data to a subfield.  

I have multiple records with data entered in field 856 subfield 3.  
I need the data from that subfield prepended to 856 subfield z (the same field, but a different subfield) followed by " - " (a hyphen and two spaces).

Each record has multiple instances of field 856, and each instance needs to have the data from subfield 3 prepended to subfield z.  

The data isn't constant and thus varies from record to record, so I need some kind of placeholder character that represents field 856 subfield 3 that I can use to tell the system to use that data each time.  I've been attempting to use regex but it hasn't really gotten me anywhere, as when I tell it to use regular expressions it no longer recognizes the ^b command, due to it not being a regular expression.

Help, please!
