Can you export records based on the presence of 952|oREF in Koha? I know
I can with Horizon. If so, then you can do a simple search and replace
for 952|y it seems to me.

Subject: Help with Making Repetitive Changes

Hello all,

I find I have to perform a lot of changes to records where I need to
change information in one subfield based on information identified in
another subfield.

For example, if subfield o (letter o) of the 952 field begins with REF,
I need to change information in subfield y of the 952 field to read
MASSCAT-NL

I tried using the script maker in MarcEdit to write a script, but I
cannot get it to work.  Has anyone had success using the script writer?
If not, does anyone know if the other tools available in MarcEdit would
allow me to make these changes in bulk rather than one at a time as I do
now?  It take me forever to sift through some files to make the changes.

I'd appreciate any help or advice.

Thanks,

Nora
