RE: MARC::Record / MARC::File::XML bug when fields contain newlines?

I haven't much technical knowledge on this point, but someone gave me a nice little piece of code which always sets my records straight. So I'll pass it along #!/usr/bin/perl -w $/ = "\x1d\x0a"; while ( my $rec = <> ) { chomp $rec; print "$rec\x1d"; } If it works for you, great! And tha

Panjabi Characters and Marc-Detrans

Hi Folks, I'm trying to run MARC-Detrans with Panjabi Characters. Apparently Perl is finding them indigestible and I'm getting the error message: Cannot decode string with wide characters at C:/Perl/lib/Encode.pm line 166. I'm guessing that this may relate to the version of Perl I'm running,

Excel or CSV to METS or MODS

Hi Folks, My New Year's resolution includes trying to wrap my mind around METS and/or MODS. We recently discussed converting Excel/CSV to MARC, which I've done. I know there's a schema that will take you from MARC to MODS and/or MADS (http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/v3/mods-3-3.xsd) althoug

Greenstone or Fedora

I know this is a little off topic, but I was wondering if anyone in the group has used or is using either Greenstone or Fedora for creating a digital library. If anyone is willing to correspond with me privately, I will appreciate your help. I am interested in batch import and export of metadata

Regular Expression for non-Roman characters

Hi folks, I'm wondering if anyone has codified a regular expression that would indicate the presence of non-Latin characters. I want to detect the presence of non-Roman letters in authority records. Currently Authorities with non-Roman forms of name place these in the 4XX fields. Our system can'

Hi folks, Is anyone using the Z39.50 Module on a Windows System? I'm trying to, so far without success. I am using Windows 2000. I working with Perl on D: (a hard drive partition), not C, because our IT department, sensibly, likes to keep C: for the standard installation. First I tried the

Adding ISBN-13 and other things

Hi folks, I've been working with a script to add an 020 field with the 13 digit ISBN, generating the 13 digit ISBN from the 10 digit ISBN. This configuration works fine in DRA classic (making the UPC searchable as an ISBN). So far so good. The problem is that if someone had conscientiously a

Syntax for Multiple conditions

I'm trying to write what I though was fairly simple Boolean Logic. I can't seem to hit the right syntax for more than two conditions in the same "if" clause. My plan is to check: 1) Is there is a 100 field? 2) Is the fixed field FIC=1? 3) Is the fixed field Audn= j? I

Ignoring Diacritics accessing Fixed Field Data

Hi folks, I'm trying to write a routine to construct a text file of OCLC search key from a group of existing records. What I want is something like: Brah,vasa/2003 That is 1st four letters of 100 + comma + 1st four letters of 245 + slash + date. In principle I have this working with: open(

RE: Character sets

Hi John, You might consider whether your problem involves the fact that most Diacritics involve a shift from Basic Latin (ASCII) to Extended Latin and then back. This is accomplished with an escape sequence. I'm a little fuzzy on the details of how this works but the raw MARC looks something

Sample MARC Ukrainian

Good morning all, I am having some trouble with invoking a Ukrainian 'IE' or 'ie' in MARC-8 Extended Cyrillic Character Set. That is: Є UPPERCASE E / CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER UKRAINIAN IE = Marc8 43 = Unicode 0454 є LOWERCASE E / CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER UKRAINIAN IE= Marc8 63 = Unicode 0404

Fonts for Unicode

We've recently been doing some beta testing of a Unicode compliant software, which must for the time being, remain nameless. The problem is that once you REALLY start to do a broad range of Unicode languages weird things crop up pretty fast. One we've discovered is the limitations of Arial Unicod

I'm forwarding a question from a colleague in NYC: "Do you know of any libraries closer than New Zealand or Europe that use Koha? We are almost ready to consider it." I'd appreciate anyone who can be a resource, preferably in the US, to respond on or off the list. Thanks. JJ **Views expressed

XML problems

Hi fellow Perlers, Please forgive what may be a foolish question. I'm trying to play with converting MARC to XML. I'm using the LC supplied mrc2xml.pl program, which I downloaded from: http://www.loc.gov/marc/marcxml.html#marcdtd I got it installed and thought I was pretty smart until I tried
