Regular expression searching should allow you to do exactly what you want: [cid:image004.jpg@01CD6B3F.E9BC35F0] ie searching for 245 fields where the first four characters are the<space> and the second indicator isn't 4. As in Janet's method, make sure you remember the space. Richard Jackson's Regular expressions in create lists [rev. 2010] is a good introduction. Originally mentioned on III's own mailing list, I've found a copy at http://microsites.csusm.edu/sysnews/files/2010/11/Matches-Handout-2010.pdf.

We've got a handful, including some really gruesome records. Janet's method works nicely if the mistake is the indicator being zero. Let's hope there are not too many starting with "The " and with non-filing indicator of 1, 2, 3, 5, etc.!

Hi Colin It seems to work for me if I do this and include a space after the Guess you would also have to account for all first indicator values too, as well as the variants in second indicators and repeat or combine the search. I found things so suppose I had better go and sort them out!
