Hi Matt,
An example is always welcome, it makes it easier to be precise in answering your question. But something like the following might do the trick:
find: =650 \\(.*)
replace: = 650 \\$1.
I am guessing about the "=650 \\" as a reliable prefix to the fields that you want to change. Take a close look at the fields in your file and modify the find and replace strings as needed. As with the articles in the archives, the "(.*)" refers to a "capture group" which will accept any number of any characters in the remainder of the field. In the replace string we refer back to this capture group with the "$1" syntax. Lastly, our replace string has a "." at the end.
Yours,

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] add period to end of 650 fields
I see information in archives to remove periods from ends of fields, but nothing
to tell me how to add them. I need to add full stop to end of subject fields in
about 200 records. I have not used regular expressions before, so if that is
involved, please be kind. Thanks for help
Matt
