If the records have fields that are always:

650 $a $y $z

and you want to end up with:

650 $a $z $x $y

you could use regular expressions to find:

(=650.*\$a.*)(\$y.*)(\$z.*)(\.)

and replace it with:

$1$3$xHistory$2.

(The end of that string is the period, or full stop, to put at the end
of the field, not punctuation in this email.)

Or:

Find the subject term, the chronological subdivision, the geographical
subdivision, and the terminal punctuation, and replace them with the
subject term, the geographical subdivision, a new topical subdivision,
and finally the chronological subdivision, ending it all with terminal
punctuation again.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] switching the position of subfields

Hi,

I have a set of records that have 650$y in front of $z, sth. like this:

=650  \0$aGenerals$y18th century$zSpain.
=650  \0$aDiplomats$y18th century$zSpain.
=650  \0$aStatesmen$y18th century$zSpain.

What I like to have is to add an $xHistory in front of $y, and put $z in
front of $xHistory$y. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Iris
