Hi Holly,

Try this and see if it works:

1.  Open the Edit Subfield form
2.  Enter 008 in the 'Field' input box
3.  Enter 7:4 in the 'Position' box
4.  Leave the 'Field Data' box blank
5.  Enter 260|c|| in the 'Replace with' box
6.  Check 'Move subfield data' at the bottom and make sure anything else is unchecked
7.  Click replace text and it should do it!

I tried checking Add subfield if not present to do the copy, but it actually works backwards, and doesn't copy the data, just the literal replacement text!  The 'Move subfield data' checkbox should probably say 'Copy subfield data' since it doesn't delete it from the source field.

Subject: MarcEdit subfield editing question

Hello everyone,

A few months back, I very much enjoyed Terry's post "A forgotten 
MarcEdit subfield Editing function"
http://people.oregonstate.edu/~reeset/blog/archives/728

In this post, he describes how to move data from 260$c to 008 position 7:4

What I need to do is the opposite- I need to copy the Date1 from 008 to 
260$c
I've tried reversing the strategy used in Terry's post but haven't had 
any luck.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,
Holly Tomren
