The repair function is specific for structural issues.  The 007/006
lengths are MARC21 specific -- so MarcEdit won't automatically deal
with those.  However, if you are just looking to truncate data -- you
could use something like this:

Find: (=006.{2}.{18})(.*)
Replace: $1

Check regular expression option

* This keeps just the first 18 bytes

Find: (=007.{2}.{14})(.*)
Replace: $1

Check Regular Expressions

*This just keeps the first 14 bytes

I recall there is something in MarcEdit that can attempt to repair minor formatting issues.  I'm sufficiently wigged out at the moment that I can't remember where it is in the program.  I've already done a basic Break and Make cycle to see if that would clean things up, without success.  Is there an explicit function to access?  Failing that, can a RegEx guru provide me a way to truncate the 006 and 007 to their proper lengths of 18 and 14 characters from the 44 that seem to have propagated themselves into the file?
