Terry, it's not working for some reason. I typed it in exactly, and tried 
one and two spaces between the (=856 and the ..\$u, since it wasn't clear 
from the image.

However I came up with another idea. Since "my" urls all begin with the 
same text, I can replace $uhttp://www.washington.eblib.com with $guhttp://www.washington.eblib.com

creating a unique weird subfield. I can then blow away all the other 
subfields I don't want, including the leftover $u's. And when I am ready I 
can flip the $g's back to $u's.

I am going to try this, since it doesn't involve regular expressions, I am 
more likely to remember it and succeed. (Being only a cataloger and not a 
programmer, sadly I mean.)
