Hello, 

Apologies if this posts twice: I seem to be having issues with email. 

I’m trying to write a regular expression that changes an instance of a repeated subfield into a new field.  So, for a record that looks like this: 

500 $a Data $u More data $u More data

Would look like this: 

500 $a Data
500 $a More data
500 $a More data

I’m new to regular expressions, and have been working with the Edit Field Data recursive replacement function, but I keep getting stuck. So far my solution was to use the following: 

Find (\$u[^$]*)
Replace $+/r

And then use Find/Replace again to change the $u to $a. However, I now realize that this solution deletes the initial $a.  Is there a way to skip over a range of characters, or (more likely) a more elegant solution to this?

Thanks!

Katie
