Hello,

I am trying (without success) to convert a txt file back into Marc21 using
the Marcedit delim txt translator. 

I am migrating a Follett installation into Koha, and the Follett call
numbers are just allllll over the place. I am sure some of you have shared
this delightful experience, or something similar.

My steps:

-start with Follett records, add 4 new tags to each record (see below),
convert to .mrk

-create export rules template and export records to tab delim.

-use MSExcel to sort records, use 4 empty tags (see above) to create
collection codes, shelf locations, item types, etc

- <-- HERE IS WHERE I AM STUCK

-create MarcEdit ".mrd" import rules template, use delimtxt translator to
convert back to Marc21

I do not get the "wrong file format" error. However, I do get the following:


**************
Here are the first few lines of the resulting error:
******begin truncated error message********

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index and length must refer to a
location within the string. Parameter name: length
   at System.String.InternalSubStringWithChecks(Int32 startIndex, Int32
length, Boolean fAlwaysCopy)
   at frmMain.P3_cmd_finish_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e)

******end of truncated error message******

-Any ideas?

-Thanks, Joe
