I see two things wrong.  First, (=999.*Education*) will match "Education" and "Educationn" but not "Educationa".  The "n*" is saying "any number of 'n' characters.  I believe what you want is (=999.*Education.*), which will match Education followed by any characters.

The second things wrong is (=999.*Education*) OR (=999.*Educational*).  Assuming that you really mean (=999.*Education.*) OR (=999.*Educational.*), the second parenthetical statement is superfluous.  The first statement, (=999.*Education*), will already match both Education and Educational, followed by any other characters or words.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] Using "OR" with "Find/Replace If"

Hi, all!  Thanks for any help you can give me.

Here's the situation:

-----
Find: (=710.*)(\$b)(School)(.*)
Replace: $1$2School of Education$4

The "Perform Find/Replace If" is always set to REGEX, and under Search Options "Use regular expressions" is always checked.  But:

This works: (=999.*Education*)
This works: (=999.*Educational*)
This doesn't work: (=999.*Education*) OR (=999.*Educational*)
-----

Can anyone spot something I'm doing wrong?
