Create List question

Hi everyone,

I feel like I’m missing something obvious but I need some help. I would like to find all records that are incorrectly coded “y” instead of “c” for the call number field. Is this possible? If so, how would I go about doing it?

Thanks so much,

Kathleen

Hi Kathleen,
One way is to state the mistaken field group and state the MARC tagging that you use for the call number. In our case we would have
Type: BIBLIOGRAPHIC
Field: y (MARC)
Condition: matches
Value A: ^090…|a
If you are not familiar with regular expressions, the last bit means the field begins 090 any character, any character (which accepts anything in the indicators) |a

Sincerely,
Bethany

Thanks Bethany!

This is very helpful. I’m not new to Create Lists but am definitely no expert with regular expressions. Still learning.
