Elena,


If your 035 looks like I think it does, you're asking it to remove the 035 only if the field text is exactly "(WaMtvS)" when what you want is for it to remove the 035 if the field text STARTS with "(WaMtvS)". Try putting an asterisk after both instances of (WaMtvS) in your code. (Actually I think you don't need the first one, I think that can just be 'when TRUE,' but I don't think it matters one way or the other.)

So, I am trying to eliminate our old Millennium bib numbers that got moved to the 035 field during migration. I came up with this normalization rule:



rule "replace -element- with  -text-"

#where -element- is:

#035.a.(WaMtvS)

    when

        TRUE

    then

        removeField "035"

end



It works, but the problem is, it deletes all the 035’s, including the one that has the OCLC number that I want to retain.



Then I tried this:

rule "035 (WaMtvS)"

when

exists "035.a.(WaMtvS)"

then

removeField "035" if (exists "035.a.(WaMtvS)")

end



That did nothing.



How can I tell it to ONLY remove the 035 that has this element? Help!



Thanks,



Elena
