I'm throwing in the towel after beating my head against a wall for a while.

Looking to make a simple string substitution in the 650 tag: replace
all occurrences of " -- " with "$x". I think the variable number of
occurrences in any given 650 is what's throwing me off...

So
=650  \4$aLaws and legislation -- International laws.
=650  \4$aDemographics -- Gender -- Women.

becomes
=650  \4$aLaws and legislation$xInternational laws.
=650  \4$aDemographics$xGender$xWomen.

Will need to do some additional cleanup, but this will be a good start for us.

All best,

Cab Vinton, Director
Plaistow Public Library
Plaistow, NH
