Eleta,

Shouldn't the following regex to find the fields have the $ escaped?

^10($a.*)($v.*)

like this:

^10(\$a.*)(\$v.*)

Although if that worked to get the fields, presumably that can't be it. 

I'm not on Marcedit at the moment (so might not be any help!), but I did try searching for
^10(\$a.*)(\$v.*)
and replacing with
=082  \\$1$2
on a regular expression testing site and did get:
=082  \\$a823.914$v18

Searching for on $axiv 695p. $c22cm for
^(\$a.*)(\$c.*)$
and replacing with 
=300  \\$1 ;$2
resulted in
=300  \\$axiv 695p.  ;$c22cm
Although presumably there might be some with $b in?

Cheers,

Tom
