I've been processing some records for ebooks.  The records in many
cases were derived from  the paper version of the books, so they have
a specific size listed in the 300$c.  The field usually looks
something like this:

=300 \\$axi, 48 p. ; $c 28 cm.

Is there a way to automate the removal of all the $c fields which have
the string "cm" in them AND delete the preceding semicolon and space?
I know I can delete all the $c's but I can't figure out how to get rid
of the preceding " ; ".  I don't want to have to manually edit out the
errant punctuation marks and spaces.

Suggestions?
