My ILS is doing something wonky to the lengths of our 006 and 007 fields when I roundtrip the records to our authority vendor (I've confirmed it's the ILS doing something when I pull them from it).  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?

Many thanks, from a flustered,
