MARCgrep.pl is a Perl script to filter or count bibliographic records based on condition built upon tag name, indicators, subfield, field value (or tag, positions, value for control fields 00x).
The condition (introduced by -e) is powerful: tag, indicators, subfield and value can be regular expressions. For instance:
-e '100,,,a,^A' |
extracts records containing field 100$a starting with 'A' |
-v -e '008,35,37,(ita|eng)' |
excludes records with language ita or eng in field 008 |
-c -e '(1|7)(0|1)(0|1),,2' |
counts records with tag among 100,110,111,700,710,711 and indicator 2 equal 2 |
