I think this is possible using a negative lookahead (looks ahead for a string and doesn't match if it's there). I think the following should work, assuming that all your 300s have either "p." or "v." in the $a:
Find:
=300....\$a(?!1 online)(.*)(p|v)(\.?)(.*)
Replace:
300 \\$a1 online resource ($1$2$3)$4
The (?!whatever) is the lookahead part.
Cheers,
Tom

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] Add "1 online resource" to 300$a, but not if the phrase is already present
I am trying to add "1 online resource" to the 300 $a of the records in an ebook marc file. The problem is that some records in the file already have "1 online resource" in the 300$a, so the regex I've been using adds the phrase again. For example:
300 $a 1 online resource (34 p.) $b ill.
300 $a 1 online resource (1 online resource (74 p.)) $b ill.
Is there a way to use the "Perform find/replace if..." function to exclude the records that already have "1 online resource" in the 300$a?
Thanks for any help with this,
