Regular Expressions w/ Create Lists to find call # problems


[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]
I am trying to gather all of our serial records with years appended to the call # -- an artifact from our pre-III days. In most cases, the year should go in the volume field of the first attached item record; subsequent items need years added to their v fields (this data has fortunately been preserved in a non-displaying e field in the item records). I am attempting to use Regular Expressions in Create Lists (running against a file of all of our serial records) in Millennium to locate the problems, but without much luck.
1st attempt:
Create list of item records.
Criteria: Bibliographic Call # matches "[0-9]{4}$"
Result: Server crashes, client needs to be restarted

2nd-5th attempt:
Create list of bib records
2. Criteria: same as above
3. Criteria: ditto " ..[0-9]{2}$"
4. Criteria: ditto "\1\9[0-9]{2}$"
5. Criteria: ditto "\ \1\9[0-9]{2}$"
Result: Empty file

I also tried a couple more times searching with Bibliographic MARC Tag 090 with no success.

Any suggestions?
